This is something I wrote some time ago, when I was dealing with body issues and insecurities. I am slowly becoming more and more like myself. I know many people can relate, so I hope you find this helpful. Better times WILL come. Never lose faith, trust yourself, trust the process.

Monster, hideous creep
I want to be free

Ugly pile of blub
Feel like a prisoner

I don't want to feel this way
I want to break the walls

Feel the sun
Feel the love

Feel like myself
I know I have it in me

I know I am close
I have reached the end

The end of suffering
The beginning of my new life

I don't need this shield anymore
I no longer need protection
Especially not from myself
Not no more
