Today, I stood naked in the mirror and picked myself apart Saggy breasts, bat wings on the arms, double chin, two rolls of back fat What most men would call a fupa and cellulite on every leg
Today, I stood naked in the mirror and picked myself apart
Counting all the day 1s, the B12 and B6 shots and water pills The muscles that constantly lock The swollen painful knees and the sciatic nerve that always cripples me..thanks to the Navy The fact that I can't tell my ankles from my feet Today, I stood naked and picked myself apart I recounted every failed weight loss plan Every shake, every pill, every low calorie meal..every personal trainer who tried to work me like everybody else Every tea, every waist trainer, online workout session None..that lasted more than a year Today, I stood naked in the mirror and picked myself apart Not understanding how far I have come How strong I am to have had three babies and only lost one The war, I have everyday with my own brain almost takes me out Yet..I live..I live to fight another day Today, I stood naked in the mirror and picked myself apart I wish I could say I put myself back together I could..if I based it all on my heart Truth is the reflection I see in the mirror is not of my heart Its easier to use the words said against me and to me to pick myself apart One day though, I will stand naked in the mirror and notice the reflection I see is still beautiful..even after I have picked myself apart.. Because, the empty spaces are filled with the radiance of my heart #writingagain #mentalhealthawareness
