Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

A Journey To Self-Love - Potw

Gone is the scared, insecure girl inside
   Judging herself harshly. She's now free
Of self-loathing. Look at her now; all woman...

           Wearing a brand new attitude!
    Broken pieces of herself glued together;
       Virtues and vices, she accepts fully.
