Here's a new poem that I wrote - it comes from a special place, and was quite an emotional one for me to create.
Love, light and blessings x.
They want to see the real me
the me that supposedly smiles for everything and everyone.
the person who supposedly fights to live
the person who fights to love
They want to see the real me
the me that has fat rolls, a big butt and a tummy
the person who they say will never find love but must love herself
the person who must love everybody else
They want to see the real me
the me who can rhyme words and tell a story
the person who can write words but not claim their glory
the person who can tell a story but not their story
Do they really want to see the real me
or do they want to just see me?
- M. Rantao**
