The Portrait

Me

Trying to find the portrait of me

In the squares inside my cell phone

I’m staring at my screen

I want to hit the unfollow button

I want to feel complete

They always said comparison was the biggest thief

Joy

I feel in a house that has no mirrors

Maybe if I was color blind I could see it clearer

I’ve been painted everything

Loser to Hero

Why do people’s words hold so much

Weight

Some days it’s hard celebrate

It’s hard to say I love you to the person that I face

My body is a temple

holds my beating heart and brain

All my life i’ve criticised

trying hard to

Change

I woke up this morning and I chose to move like water

I chose to say I’m thankful and I love you and I’m stronger

I say my affirmations and I promise to try harder

I am beautiful

I am beautiful

I glow every single color
