Things will go wrong,

And at times, life will be tough.

You see me one way,

and while I see what you see, in my reflection, I see another.

I’ve grown to love the body that I’m in,

not caring what everyone else thinks,

or so I tell myself.

I have traveled to the darkest of places

but now, I feel like I’ve found the light.

I’ve grown to love the body that I’m in,

not caring what everyone else thinks

& now I’m starting to believe it.

Even in the simplest of moments

I find love in every inch of me

never again I whisper to myself,

never again.
