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

This is a powerful message. We need to keep it in our thoughts always and believe in ourselves that we are stronger than what we appear to be (^_*)

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
