Beautiful Me

Thank you, you, & you for showing me exactly who I don't want to be;
I've suffered through inner conflicts that distorted beautiful me.

Your eyes can't judge me anymore because I've grown into my own skin,
Why was I so concerned- answering that, where do I begin?

But  what I know is I've found inner strength and have found this inner will;
Life is full of ups & downs, a climb uphill.

But to the top I go, overcoming many fears,
I have learned so much from negativity & grew strong after all the tears.
I used to beat myself up for not having realized who I am over the years.

But I stand strong now, appreciating all life's lessons;
I sit here now and I count all my blessings.

A humble heart, a growing mind, friends who keep the child inside me alive;
Family that without them I could not survive.

The world is in the palm of my hands, as I hope I don't drop the ball;
I am determined for better things after all.

I don't need hate, violence, or greed. Or lies, deceit and facades;
What I need live, breathe is this great life I can control over and I don't feel at odds...

With myself because I am Me!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful me.
