Bleaching Freckles
“Sun Kisses”
As soon as I started to refer
My freckles as “kisses”
A whole new world opened up for me
In the palm of my hand
Kisses were intimate, precious
Lovable
Devoted
The things that I was taught to hate
Taught to bleach, to get rid
To dispose
Was wrong
How can a world get rid of
Something so beautiful as “Kisses?”
It can't
And neither should I.
Something wrong with this poem?

I used to weigh 160 pounds, but now I weigh 130 pounds! It took me almost two years and I am really happy about the way I look, though I am still trying to become more and more healthy. I been through a lot of shit with my life, and I’m still working on it. But each day I am getting better :D
