growth
You threw me into an ocean of self hate
with my legs tied beneath me
you lashed at me with with your sharp tongue
until i was afraid to speak
you sliced me open with cruel words
and covered my body in salt
you fed me years of painful truths
until i could no longer stomach the sight of myself
and you pinned my legs down, laughing
demanding i stand up
but i cannot find it in me to hate you
- no
i could never hate you
for you made me grow and learn to disregard painful slander
as i am completely and utterly enough
in fact
- i am more than enough
i am a flowering cherry tree, bright and bold and blossoming.
