She looks in the mirror, stripping herself of all guilt
She has been through so much like rape and discrimination
Though all that made her a better person,
there is something in her past that she is not proud of
It is hurting and not taking care of herself
They say that your body is your temple
She thought it as a punishment for being a cruel person
The things that made her better, also tore her down
Looking at herself, she saw a fat man
I will not list the things that she did to her body
But, I will tell you that she's forgiving herself
for not appreciating what she has
Author notes
6) Write a poem forgiving yourself for the worst
thing you have ever done. You do not have to
tell us what it is you did, just do the forgiving.

a good piece of poetry, we have to forgive ourselves in life or we will just rot in some corner and wither away.

Wow, this is amazing. I love the shortness of length and how the story of the poem is so clear in such few lines. Incredible :]
"The things that made her better, also tore her down"
I definitely loved that line, because I, along with I'm sure a lot of people, can relate to that. Very powerful. The vividness of this poem was mind boggling. If this was personal, I'm sorry it happened to you, because it surely does happen to the best of us :[ This is all in all a great piece.
