Let me tell you about my first time.
I had been waiting for it for so long,
I had almost decided it wouldn't come.
But if you think i mean sex, you are very wrong.
No, today was the first time that i truly loved myself.
I looked in the mirror, and smiled.
Not at my face, not at my waist,
I smiled at me. this was a triumph.
I saw what was once a messed up kid,
Now almost a woman, with independent thoughts.
Of societies expectation i am rid.
I feel what i want, i call the shots.
Yes, when i look in the mirror, i see a friend.
Of whom i have known since my birth,
And will know until the very end.
I know the skeletons in her closet, yet i still see her worth.
Now i love myself enough to work toward my goals.
To aid in the fruition of my prayers,
And to look at life beyond my temporary woes,
And to finally realize, that my life is not up for comparison.
