Confidence

I’m not a size zero

I can’t throw it back

I’m definitely not a hero

And I’m okay with that

For the first time I didn’t do my face

Held up my phone

My smile in place

As the flash glowed 

I had never felt so naked

Laid everything out bare

I was only without makeup

But I used to wear it everywhere 

There’s a freedom to this 

Not being worried about my skin

My body’s not perfect

But I’m building confidence

Things don’t fall into black and white 

There are a million shades of grey

So what seems to you as the only right

Can be seen by someone else a different way

I’m learning my limits

I’m not letting you be the one to push them

If you say something about me

I’m ignoring you

I’m learning to be happy

You should be too
