Love me for me, not for who you want me to be.

by ShaunaMarie   Oct 27, 2008


My eyes, the only thing that tells the truth about me.
Green; the color of nature.
The color of the way things are supposed to be.
Months ago, they were grey.
Painted by a hand misguided by lust and betrayal.
Things quickly changed when I realized what had gone wrong.
I had no boundaries, no love lines, or life lines.
So I drew my own.
I do not fret, or try too hard to hide the scars that I have made.
That would be hiding myself from others.
I am proud of what I have become; whole.

I am no longer the broken girl that hurts herself because she cannot hurt others.
I have become the girl strong enough to show people who she is
and not be afraid of being judged.
I am who I am.

No one will change that.
