Images

Truth is for years I hated the person I saw,

Battled internally with my looks,

Took pills to lose the weight,

starved myself to look a certain way,

I was never content with the image I saw,

I worked out five times a day,

Never slept,

because in my mind I had to lose the weight,

I was ashamed of who I saw,

She was a hideous monster,

She could destroy us all,

As my husband, I asked you for help,

Instead of helping you made me doubt myself,

You encouraged the unhealthy habits,

Compared me with every woman you saw,

Made me feel inadequate,

Years have passed and I still have these thoughts,

But now I know what is inside matters most
