Here I Am

From transition from the girl that I was, to the woman I am is not without loss. My face that drew comments of how pretty I was faded from view which is a pity because, the swelling of breasts not previously there refocused your gaze to that if a stare. And as my hips grew wider so did my butt which wasn't a problem for me as such, but you started to see me as something not right with proportions not fitting a dress far too tight. Suggestions were made that maybe I should transform my body into something that would, and hopefully then I would be accepted, and favoured within a world that demanded that I should be thin. But fat is my right, it's who that I am. It's always my choice to be my own fan. So love what you look like, demand clothes that fit. Don't squeeze into dresses just because of your ****. The world should accommodate the woman you are and talk to your face not what's inside your bra. So here I stand in front of you now, like this poem, not perfect but relevant -somehow.

Hello Dimpra Kaleem, As we age our bodies change whether we want it to or not. Same for the men. We must like ourselves the way we are. have a nice day my friend.

A very nice written poem, I really like the message you have conveyed through this poem, we should not care what the world say, it s our life and only we decide that how are we suppose to live, just do things that make us happy not the world and juat forget what the world say because they ll comment in any way
