Transformed

In the mirror, I see a glow

Confidence blossoms, a newfound show

Beauty within, now brightly sung

Unveiling charms once unsung

Men’s gazes’ liner, turning thrice

Captivated by this newfound spice

They stumble, babble, open doors

In their eyes, admiration pours

In public’s gaze, I stand tall

Noticed, acknowledged by all

A transformation, inside and out

Radiating confidence, without a doubt

Seriously… I’ve never known confidence, self-love and self-respect. These are amazing feelings. The best part is, I parented myself. No parent taught me how to feel this way about myself. I was able to come to this conclusion with much therapy and self-care. Men do notice me, and it feels good. When I was younger, I thought I was ugly. When men, or anyone really, would stare at me, I would ask them what they’re looking at with attitude, or tell them to take a picture because it’ll last longer. Now I smile. I’m already walking with confidence, but every time I go out more heads turn, and it gives me even more confidence. I don’t need others to tell me I’m beautiful, I already know that, but it adds to how I already feel about myself. I’ve made so much progress, and as I’ve already stated, I must parent myself. So, I make sure to give myself the credit I deserve for the progress I’ve made.
