This is a poem i wrote about learning to love and accept yourself. hope ya like it  Loving me I was so lonely, I felt so left out, My life was so dismal, And full of doubt. I hated myself For not being like them, I was the dark black stone Amongst the sparkling gems. Why am I so different? Why don't I fit in? All these question Made my head spin. But then one day he walked into my life, And told me someday I would make a beautiful wife. He opened up to me, And I wish I could have done the same, Because if he walked out the door, Only I was to blame. He complimented me 'Til the daylight could no longer dim, But the glorious day Was when I believed him. "I am funny, kind, and beautiful" I screamed, He turned me into the person I had always dreamed. Then one spectacular morning I picked My self-confidence up off that little dusty shelf. For I had finally realized, in order for Them to love me, I must first love myself. ~People R supposed 2 B luved, and things R supposed 2 B used; most of our problems stem from realiTy: Things R luved and People R used~ |

This is a wonderful piece. I'm glad that you found your self-confidence on that dusty shelf. Keep up the good work! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

Very well put sweetstuff! So inspiring, I think that I'll take your advice and instead of hurting and feeling bad, I'll love myself and maybe one day I'll find love...if not, that's ok too. It would be nice though eh? Keep up the wonderful work! Love Always~*~Jessica~*~*~* I wIsH I wAs A LiTTlE gIrL aGaIn; SkInNeD kNeEs AnD bRuIsEd ElBoWs ArE eAsIeR tO hEaL tHaN a BrOkEn HeArT!*~* |

Now this is my favorite amongst your poems so far. The rhyming scheme is excellent and the change in style in the end is different. Excellent work!!! Great message to all too. keep it up. I'm glad you feel that way about yourself now too I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR |

I really like this poem. I can relate to it. I felt the same way about myself because I thought no one liked me. i thought it was just me , but it wasn't. I realized that now. This poem is great! |

The message of this poem was positive and it was well depicted. Good job!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
