My Original Poetry: I Love Me

Hi people! I wrote this poetry for my final assignment, but I think I wanna share it with the world because I made it with all my heart. Enjoy!

I Love Me

By Tissa Risanto

In one moment I think of those all
Fire gone wild inside, but tears represent through the eye
I see me in front and the mirror doesn't lie
Anxiety throws me into trash they've made

I see me...
A creature of the most imperfect kind
My soul just want to fit in their standard
But they keep saying that i'm not similar

That dark age of my life
When make up and fashion aren't only fun stuff anymore...
They're things you can't live without
Just like you can't breathe without air
Just like you can't live without soul

Hard to tell, when the golden morning light become an audience
For my dramatic morning drama
When even myself hates to see
My self-representation on a piece of reflected glass

The standard is cruel
Hard to follow and reach just turn you into a fool
Make your heartache wider as a bloody pool
Turn you as an impulsive person that willing to sell your soul

Dozen efforts I've done to fulfil their thirsty judgmental throat
Not once they telling me beautiful
They keep highlighting all the dark spots

No matter how hard I’m trying to      

They keep telling all the flaws
Ohh...Your hair looks so dry
Your eyebrows are weird
Your eye isn't clear

Your jaw isn’t perfect

Your cheeks are getting fat

Now I understand...

Till I open my eyes in one “wake up call” moment

The spark of hope getting inside me
Realization is finally waking up from its hibernation
Acceptance of self-imperfection finally tickle my confidence
Just let them dig more to find your delusional flaws they've created

Their minds are the problem
My "full of flaws" appearance is beautiful
I do me and...
I love me...
