I stand naked in a mirror and what do I see … I see a warrior Queen.
You may see titties that don’t sit as high as the used to,
but these breasts have fed the next generation
so show respect and give them there due veneration.You may see stretch marks snaking my tummy
but these markings they tell a story….
Every mark is a battle scar that screams out
that I am a bearer of life.
I am woman and I am proud
I’ll never drop this crown.I am where the river begins,
I am the source.
A force to be reconned with.Resilient as ever. Give up never.
Overflowing with strength and soul
I am a beautiful sight to behold.It took me a lifetime to get here and see this truth,
People tried to drag me down
and make me confused.And for a while it worked.
I didn’t know my worth.
But I tapped into a level of inner strength
That I didn’t know I possessed.
I ate the plate of self respect
That I refused to partake of in the pastI’m eating now and I’m filled up.
Anorexic no more I digest LoveScarf down joy by the handful.
I never miss a meal now
I honestly can say
I can’t remember howI drink with intention
With purpose and determination
My cup is always filled up with heaps of motivationSurrounding myself with good vibes
and positive energy
My self awareness thrives
as I strive to be a better meRub shoulders with those whose
values align with mine
I refuse to waste anymore timeSo I stand in this mirror
gazing upon royalty
my heart swells with pride…What a journey

Lauren thank you for saying that!! I think that every woman should feel this and not let ourselves be ruled by insecurity! Which is easier said than done but once mastered is everything!! Thank you for providing this space!!!
