From the Depths to the Sky
“Ugly, fat, unwanted”
Like a music box on loop
These words plague my mind
They ricochet through my chest
Bouncing off the bruised walls
“Ugly, Fat, Unwanted”
A fragile heart barely alive
Bears deep scars
The jagged knife slashing deeper
The darkest lights sweep through my soul
No part of me is unscathed
The voice in my head reminds that I’m
“UGLY, FAT, UNWANTED”
Each night I cry
My room floods with wishes to have the ache within my bones cease
But
“I am enough”
With each defeating blow
My skin becomes an armor
More equipped
I let in my Trojan Horse
My savior from the hurtful words
Now
With the strength of Goliath
I find my truth
“I Am Enough”
In my truth is the answer that wholly reveals itself unto me
I’m the one I should love
Not mere mortal
Not those with the power to destroy my soul
But my flawed self, created by God who makes no mistakes
And now I see the entirety of the universe unveil itself in my veins
I have become a worthy tree stump
Reborn with its roots reaching further into the soil
Its branches reaching where Icarus once flew
“I AM ENOUGH”
