Regain
The dark of the womb
The warmth of a mother’s touch
All the safety I felt when I was a child.
Slowly dissipated in the air
Randomly—Change was subtle and all at once
As my body morphed
Molded into a new being
Walking around had a different feeling
My hips swayed with every step
I was meet with uncomfortable stares
Whispers and whistles
I didn’t feel right and rather out of place
Time only brought more aches
Everything was wrong
From my appearance to the way I walked
I was consumed by flaws
My thoughts beat me down
Everything was unattainable
Until I saw… the better vision of myself
Days became a little brighter
My thoughts were revitalized
I felt safe
Radiating confidence
All the agony, the experiences—the hurt I felt
Slowly dissipated in the air
The strongest weapon was always me.
My mind was, and is everything
I am the judge and jury of my fate.
