The Beauty In Me Poem by Tori Fleck Fournelle

The Beauty In Me

Rating: 5.0


When I was just a baby
you left me
all alone
no one to hold
not one soul
to be found
as I got older
I started to realize
your just a child yourself
all those drugs
and alcohol
just made you fall
and now
as I am getting older
I start to realize
I'm getting bolder
I have more power in my words
even if they pass right over your head
these are the words that you said
'I don't want you in my life'
I guess that was your sacrifice
Atleast I don't deal with too much strife
in MY life
I just hope you realize
you're 33 years old in a 14 year old mindset
I guess when you were seventeen
and had me
you didn't see
the beauty in me

Tori, your self confidence seeps through every words written on this poem. keep your strenght and know that you are beautiful and that it is thier loss not yours as odd as it may seem to say, because despite what you have gone through, you have grown up strong and smart, beautiful and empowered. and the only one that can take credit for that is YOU. very good write, sad to read, but let the pen be your guide. and know that you are loved and appreciated by others. take solace in thier company.
