Be kind to you~
Her Unshielding
She beat herself up
From her weight to her toes
From the size of her thighs
To the shape of her nose-
And on her walk home
When she was alone
She’d talk to herself
In the harshest of tones-
She could never enjoy
All the good that she had
For she spent all her thoughts
On how she was bad-
She woke up one day
Overwhelmed with her stress
And cried out for help
For her life was a mess-
And though it sounds strange
Even hard to believe
As soon as she asked
She began to receive-
Her thoughts began shifting
From her mind to her heart
She worked through her pain
With music and art-
And though it took time
The young woman healed
For she opened to love
When she let go her shield~
