Sometimes we compare
I have belly rolls
Big pores
Huge eyes
Large forehead
Flawed skin
Bumps on my arms
Scars on my face
Scars on my face, arms, and knees
.
Sometimes I can
Be hypocritical, mean,
Gross
Boring
Quiet
Shy
Confused when no one else is,
Defensive, unnecessarily.
I take things personally,
Try too hard,
Don’t try enough.
.
Sometimes I think people:
Don’t like me,
View me as obnoxious
See me as odd
Are shallow
Think I’m less.
.
But even with all of this,
I still love myself
and everything that I do
because
I’m human.
And so is he, she, you, them, they,
all, everyone, everywhere.
.
No one is ever perfect.
Shallow things remain shallow for a reason.
.
Those that stay in the shallow end remain there
because they can see their feet.
It’s those that dare to tread deeper
and lose sight of what they know,
that carry the World forward
“Those that stay in the shallow end remain there
because they can see their feet.
It’s those that dare to tread deeper
and lose sight of what they know,
that carry the World forward” Amazing stanza! I love this poem.
