Confidence, Or Hopeful Insecurity

Confidence
I wish I had some
The ability to
Wear tank tops
Shorts and flip flops
I'm afraid to show
The limbs that are revealed

Confidence
I can fake it well
Walk to school with my head up
But I swear
I can hear them whisper

Do you see those stretch marks?
Do you see those scars?
Her shorts are too small!
What a lard ass!
And they wonder why
I'm lacking in confidence

Confidence
Maybe one day
I'll learn to love my body
But for now
I'll keep working
Until I am content
And full of pride.

I'd love to be able to say
This is my body
I love it
And it's mine!

I am fifteen. I have severe ADHD. Don't let my poems confuse you. Artist, closet poet, student filmmaker. I have a blog, it's not that good. You can look at it anyway. http://avolavit.tumblr.com

Theirs And Mine

I look at their brown tanned skin, Their bleach blonde hair. I look at their bright white teeth, Their faces so fair. I looked at their heavy eyelashed eyes, Their plump, soft lips.

Can You See Me?

Can you see past my crazy hair. Can you see everything that's there. Can you see past my acne prone skin. Can you see deep within. Can you see past my not perfect shape.
