Beyond Insecurity


She looks in the mirror and what does she see?

A girl with a lot of insecurity

 

Her thighs feel thick and her stomach feels fat

and she believes nothing will ever change that

 

She is tired of being uncomfortable in her skin

but her inner thoughts always take over and win

 

She says "I am tired of loosing this war"

and she's exhausted of feeling that life is a chore

 

She longs to reach for happiness again

and to learn to accept her body as her friend
