Me

I used to hate me,
I just couldn't see one good quality.
All I saw was a fat, ugly, stupid little girl who was often used and abused, but too weak to stop it.
I felt useless, worthless as if my life was being wasted.

I spent my days in a haze of pain, tears and despair,
Screaming for help but no one was there.
Turning to drugs to escape the torture,
Not realizing that I was my biggest abuser.

Then one day I had an Epiphany and the cloudy darkness began to clear,
As if for the first time I saw the real me,
who deserved a chance to be the best me I could possibly be.

Now I love myself faults and all.
I've grown comfortable within my own skin.
Of course I know I'm not perfect,
But I like myself and that's the most important thing.

I like my curves, my eyes and my smile when lip gloss is applied,
I might not be conventionally sexy, but I'm proud to know that I have beauty within as well as on the outside.

I'm proud to be a good mum to two wonderful girls and I know that I'm raising them right,
Each time I look in their eyes and see them smile when I kiss them good night.

I look after my family in a kind and caring way,
I always have time for them no matter how busy my day.
I always listen and I never judge,
I always try to remain true to myself.

I'm an honest person, I hate lies,
I'm quietly confident, but people think that I'm shy.
My life is full of laughter, I love to have fun,
I see the glass half full, I'm the positive one.

I love that I'm motivated, I never give up,
I take pride in my appearance, always wearing make-up.
I work very hard, I study all the time,
I'm very independent, I won't accept a dime.

I'm clever and creative with a great imagination,
I'm highly skilled in the art of communication.
I'm very chatty, I sometimes talk to much,
I'm known in the family for having a gentle touch.

I like art and craft and I love to write,
I enjoy late nights by candle light.
I also love to sing and to dance
And finally, I believe that people should have a second chance.

My passion is to look after myself, to make time for me.
To realize that my life's worthwhile and I deserve to be happy.

I love me!

And so you should--love you! For if you didn't, then the other things that you also love would escape the beautiful telling of the value of your soul and its importance to you, your family, and to the things are the most meaningful in this world.

You have a skill and a talent that I don't possess. We, all of us, have different things to offer, but I am most impressed with both the seeming simplicity of your work, but in reality, the amazing textures images, and depths that you allow us to share with you, through your gifted and skillful pen.

I really appreciate the format and style of the three works of yours I've read so far. None of them has sent me off in ten different directions, while not even providing a reasonable beginning, development, and ending.

It is hoped that you won't be offended by my saying that your work is coherent, and the tapestries which you've woven so far, have been truly delightful.

Thank you.

Thank You for such a heartfelt
and inspiring poem. My father criticized me so much when I was young, and I believed his criticism and like you -hated myself. It took many years to get over what he thought I was and really see who I thought I was, and I too
now love myself.

Thank you for writing this.

Rich

The cloudy darkness begins to disappear and then the real high begins! Life! To be full of it and a part of it. Clear minded and forgiving.. even of ones own faults.
I, too, have learned to accept me just the way I am. And you know what? That makes me a better ME!
Thank you, Denise. Your words here just prove there is hope in sobriety.. and life after addiction... and so much more. Well done! Not just the poetry, but the life it reflects as well.
Debbie
