I really liked this alot.
I think ever girl thinks this way
I know that I used to think this way
and heck sometimes I still do
I am not a fat person but I am not skinny
I have a little extra meat on my bones but
Hey I know that I am beautiful.
I dont starve for people attention
I make myself happy before anyone else
If they dont like me because I am "Fat"
So be it I like the way I look.
Some girls are really skinny and still think
that they need to be skinnier
But I think not.We were made this way
Why not love the skin we wear.
I might have thick thighs
I might have love handles
I might have chunky cheeks
But every morning I tell myself I am beautiful
I liked this alot sorry for me talking about
myself but more self confidence helps alot
You wake up every morning
& you were made the way you were
Love the skin you wear.
Love yourself for yourself
Not for something your not.
5/5
Take care,

This was a fantastic poem, very haunting in my mind, but you wrote this beautifully, expressing your true thoughts and making them clear to the reader. Here is a piece of advice: Be happy with the body God gave you, and if your body needs some toning down, then do it healthily. Not skipping meals and making yourself throw up. Love yourself for you and you are beautiful. If you do feel bad about yourself and want to make your body healthier and feel better about yourself, then start doing the little things that count. Like starting off with a 15 minute jog, grabbing carrots instead of cookies, that sort of thing. Count your calories, it will become a learning experience and you will tone down like you want to. Have a confident attitude but do what is best for yourself and if you are a bit chunky, then tone down, and get that confidence and determination. You will feel much better about yourself later in life and if you lose some weight let's say in certain area's, than that is taking good care of your body. Don't beat yourself up about your flaws though, we all have them, and we all need to work on things. You ARE beautiful, inside and outside, and your self-esteem will go up if you find fun activites to get more exercise and be healthier.

Hope this helped, a wonderful poem though, much talent you have..

5/5 from me, take care and God bless you!

I liked the poem since you described everything wonderful and easily i could imagine what is happening and how you do look like.
However,most of all i liked how you closed the poem,it was touchin and full of emotions,it ws like finally you get in peace with yourself and told yourself before a deadline I Am Beautiful.5/5 :)

I wipe my make-up tainted face
and grab the bathroom tub for support
as I try to stand. I walk over and flip
the light switch...turn to face the mirror
and I smile.

I can finally say this knowing I have
minutes left.

I look at the mirror and watch no one
stare back at me and I whisper....

I am beautiful.

I love how you put all this together. Very detailed, you can see the images as your reading. You cant do that with many poems anymore. I would have to say that the first stanza im my favorite How you said "I have to do this" you can feel the emotion.

I love this one. How you say that you smile. Its amazing how much feeling there is in this. Excellent job

Very beautiful and so, so sad. Amazing emotions, relatable to many.

I enjoyed the length as well as the format of the poem. the flow was flawless too. Very neatly written. 5/5

Too much flesh.
-- I love love loved this line. I don't know why. <.<

I see why people say red is my color
they were right...I had to be
completely drenched in it
to get the full effect...
-- Omg. I love this.. o.O I really wasn't expecting to love this as much as I am.

Wow.This whole poem was amazing. I'm sure you're absolutely beautiful though. I understand how that's hard to see. Great job!

A very sad poem of immense volume yet it carried your message excellently. Being of an older generation I don't or can't understand the idea of disfigurement or cutting ones self, yet I after reading a lot of poems that call it to my attention am getting the drift of sadness, disillusionment and despair which brings it about not to mention abuse and disappointment, Your poem seems a bit more terminal to all I have read yet never apologise for such a great verse its length though long was necessary to get all your thoughts together.

I cant really express in words how I feel about this poem it is very deep and emotional. the last three lines "I look at the mirror and watch no one
stare back at me and I whisper....
I am beautiful." keep repeating in my head. great job Nik.

This one. :]
