PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

So many years spent hating myself.

So many nights filled with tears
because I can't escape my skin.

Today I choose to forgive myself.

Now I vow to accept the fact
that I can never be perfect.

I will not let my personal demons
take control of my optimism.

I will realize my weaknesses
don't define my character.

I will not allow disappointment
to leave me permenantly scarred.

I will not give other people
permission to bring me down.

My future belongs to me,
no one else.

Only I can change my path.
