The confidence I spent years belittling down <br />To nothing somehow regained its strength. <br />The insecurities I let dictate my happiness I now see <br />Not as imperfections, but perfections that make me me. <br />I have figured out making myself feel unworthy of anything, <br />Has hidden amazing things I could be sharing. <br />No longer am I afraid of the light that shines within me. <br />I won't let fear conceal the happiness I know I deserve. <br />There is no one like me, and for that reason, <br />I deserve nothing but the best. <br />I will look at my reflection and not run from it <br />But embrace it. <br />I am perfect the way I am.<br /><br />Kaitlin Schmidt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-perfect-the-way-i-am/
