Poems of Me

Believe in Me

10/9/14

I sat by the window

Minding my own business

Keeping my tie hung low

And cursing my silliness

I smile a bittersweet smile

And look down on myself

Before pacing my room a while

Then I stop and begin to undress

I glance at my wrist

And then back to my face

The scar covered lips

The imperfections I create

The mirror can lie to you

I know that

Something's wrong, I know that too

But I won't change the way I look to not feel crap

I won't cover up any longer

Let them see my scars

I'd get questions but I'm stronger

I'll just answer and laugh and laugh

Instead of the lie I taught

I now see

That even though I fought

I still might believe in me
