liking the way you are

liking yourself

an appreciation for self?

a contentedness with being?

and if you could, would it be right?

or should contentedness never come...

so as to continue to progress?

that the starting place seems to be finding anything positive about oneself

-

a struggle

met

by so many

with

self destruction

>

hunger and starve

cut and bleed

scarf and barf

bash and bruise

-

on it

.

cry

.

over it

.

hide
