Finally I feel I'm coming together
no longer affected by the weather
to stand
to think
not run or swim
neither care if fat or thin
judgemental eyes
that see my lies
will look again and realise
the image that they thought
they knew
was merely just a different view.
they may stop
pause and wonder
but no one now
can steal my thunder.
for I've dug deep
and turfed them out
those feelings I had
of self doubt.
I've buried them
smoothed them over
nursed them
tended
often pretended
but finally I'm feeling mended.
