The sun after the rain-

I am beautiful, I think

With an oversized t-shirt

Baggy pants for full coverage

Low fat shake with a teaspoon of hurt.

I smile,

The best ones are upside down

The mind is the true enemy

Even without makeup, I’m a clown.

Excessive amount of fatness

Curves that are too thick for the eyes

Cellulites and thunder thighs

Underarm wings that can possible make me fly.

Stretch marks like tattoos

All over my naked body

Neck with extra roles

Mirror on the wall, be honest, I do look funny.

Come on self-esteem

Boost something new and hopeful

It’s a new year already

Tired of the old and the doubtful-

Wake up, breathe in and breath out

It is a brand new day

Start with abundance of love and joy

Let the negative fade away.

I am beautiful, I know

Yes confident where have you been?

Look at these luscious imperfections

And that smile, true beauty from within.

Embracing thy body

Let the judgmental eyes see

No coverage of shame no more

Taking the first step of the new me.
