I Am Not My Scars

I am not my scars 
I am not my past
I am not my anxiety
I am not a victim
I am not the product of men thoughts of me
I am not a mistake
I am not what you think of me 
I am not what what you speak over my life
I am not my scars that made me the person I am today
I am not a quitter 
I am not defeated
I am not a loser
I am not a lacker
I am not a slacker 
I am not my scars
I am in charge of my life

We need to keep it in our thoughts always and believe in ourselves that we are stronger than what we appear to be (^_*) Login to Reply Patrice Trice Jackson Date: 11/26/2016 3:09:00 AM Yes you are so right we often do that....

Alexis Y. Date: 11/4/2016 8:54:00 PM Hi Patrice, I can relate to this poem so much. It's as though you read my mind again. I agree our scars don't define us although that made us into the person we have become. Your poems are so positive and encouraging. Well done:-) Alexis Login to Reply Patrice Trice Jackson Date: 11/4/2016 9:27:00 PM Aww... Thank you Alexis I just speak on situations and wisdom I gained over my life time. Life for me been a huge rollcoaster. I'm just grateful God allow me to be here in share inspiration in any he see fit for me to do...
