Quondam Solace 1

46. Namecalled but still AWESOME

Ugly; witch...
Fat; boyish...
Worthless; stupid...

I've been baptized with many names,
I've heard more of them.
They appeared as a joke
But to me, they are things that can choke.

I could've answered back
But I just kept quiet and maintained my cool.
I accepted every letter, syllable...
Every word they said like a curse.

I was greatly affected,
I was deeply hurt and wounded.
I carried the memory with me
And carried the pain in my heart all the way.

Then somebody whispered this to me:
"you are awesome, you are loved."
It certainly made me realize my worth.

I've been through a lot of pain
I've heard lots of criticisms.
I've always looked down on myself
But I realized I've been too hard on myself.

I realized how special I am
Cause I'm loved by my Father,
I am not a failure
And I am awesome in my own way.
