When I was young, I never saw myself,
As a beautiful princess; For I was confuse,
Saw beauty, more in someone else:
When I was an adolescent, I try to find love,
In places, that was not so exemplary, dignify;
My expectations failed me very well:
I was seen as gullible, unwise,
Lack spiritual maturity, inauthentic,
Not the greatest beauty, friend,
Talk too much, lack positive attributes,
To some of them: Now that I am middle age,
Pounds I have gain, in various places;
My mind has taken me, on a self-worth,
Powerful journey, that brought tears,
Joy, hope, life lessons, trying to fit in,
And being my authentic self:
Yet, Glory to God, I am finding love,
More within, “I thank God for teaching me,
The danger, of being unwise;
Giving me hope, through his word,
And much more, spiritual sense.
