*Finding Myself*

People tell me im beautiful,
but why can't I see it.
All i see is this plain skronny girl,
destroying herself bit by bit.

I want to love myself,
but it's just so hard to do.
I wish I could look in the mirror,
and say "I love you."

Instead, I look in the mirror,
and discover every single flaw.
But one day,
I looked and this is what I saw.

A beautiful girl with long blonde hair,
that falls just right on her shoulders.
The prettiest smile,
with dimples the size of boulders.

Her eyes so bright,
the perfect shade of blue.
I can finally look in the mirror,
and say "I love you."




"One fine day you'll look at me and know that love was meant to be"

  That poem was so awsome because it's exactly like how I used to think.I still cant love myself but I just stopped caring.

ToGunLauren~ Thank you for replying..BUT you should NEVER stop caring about yourself because its so much easier to live once you love yourself. Because no one else can love you until you love yourself =) So dont give up!!

We are our own worst critic.  I'm glad the you have finally accepted your own beauty.  I would like to know the cause of it though? Keep writing and be proud of yourself
