Stranger

by JaM   Dec 8, 2017


Once again, I find myself here,
hating the reflection in the mirror.

It brings tears to my eyes,
gazing upon my tiny size.

I once had some weight,
and it made me feel great.

Now, I am skin and bones,
riddled with different tones.

It saddens my soul,
that I can't feel whole.

I am ashamed, of what I see,
I wish that it wasn't me.

I want this cycle to end,
I want to break the trend.

How do I accept who I am,
this person they call Jam.

    Oh Jam. Such a brave and personal write. I don't have any clever answers, I'm sure the issue isn't that you don't know where to get the help you need, it's accepting the help and accepting yourself so that you can break the cycle.
    Keep writing the poetry, because we can love that and reflect it back to you. :-) x

    Perfect the way we are
    But, If you have a wish
    Pluck it from the brightest star

    Filled your bag with healing herbs
    As island birds whisper a loving word
    Guiding the way, Flying south
    But, the loudest sound
    Resonates from your souls mouth

    With your feet in her water
    Know your mother natures daughter
    Ready to cross seas of color
    Thats hard enough
    Drifting in a storm where seas are rough
    Floating on your back
    If you bring anything
    I hope its love you pack
