Uniquely Me
Locations
Everyday I wake up
I stare into the mirror
And touch all the beautiful
Pieces of my body
That I've been ashamed of
My thighs
Which are not considered
Desirable
By today's society
Are the first to be grazed over
They are large
But I feel amazing
About them
Because they continue on to
My hips
Which are the next to be worshipped
My curves are flawless
And I'm proud of them
They show all the little marks
Of life
But are able to rock
Even the tightest of clothes
Next is the flab of my stomach
I've always thought that
Having fat on my tummy
Was gross
And disgusting
And made me uglier than
Everyone else
But it doesn’t
It is amazing to say
Hey I finally have
Fat on my bones
After such a long time
Of starving
Next are ribs and breasts
Both give me grief on a daily basis
My ribs crack and pop
One pointing in
The other out
Moving and shifting every second
And my breasts are small
Shirts never fit right
And I feel inadequate
Next to my friends
But they are gorgeous too
I never have the struggle of finding shirts
That are cute and fit over my breasts as well
My assets are just right
My ribs create a figure
For me
Of a ballerina
And I adore them
After that is my face
Little marks reminiscing of
Every pimple and bump
To have ever graced my features
My eyes a brown
Like every other
My lips and nose too large
For my face
But they are flawless too
My face is unique
You'll never find another
Like me
My eyes, while not strong,
Are wide with wonder
And will show you
Every emotion that flits into my mind
From my lips will flow
Facts and other trivial
Information I can get
My hand on
And that brings me
To
My head
My brain
My weird little thing
That has been:
Mocked
Scolded
Broken down
Silenced
Disregarded
Hated
Scorned
And yet I feel
It is
The one thing about myself
That I truly
Love
That brings everything together
And makes me flawlessly alive
Ask me anything and I’ll give you
Fifteen facts about it
Tell me a subject
And I’ll hold a conversation with you
For hours
I used to be so ashamed
Of exactly how smart I am
But now
Now I celebrate it and everything else
About me
Because I am:
Lovely
Gorgeous
Unique
Beautiful
Wonderful
Worth it
But most of all
I am flawless
And I’ll believe that
To the end of my days
From now on.
