Poem 10
Self Love
By: Ashley L Powers
I’m proud of who I am
The woman before you has been through many trials
Had to fall on my face numerous times
But each time taught me a lesson
Not ashamed of my failures
Each time presented a challenge
And every time I accepted them
Fought through them
And came out victorious
I had to learn to love myself
Because if I didn’t
How was I going to know if others really loved me
The end result is the woman standing before you
Shattered but never broken
Damaged but not destroyed
