Competition Piece : Classic Corner Tribute - Rupi Kaur pt. II
for the girl with the lovely curves and all the insecurities
you are a beautiful miracle
for the girl with the scar-covered wrists
you are good enough
for the girl who loves too deeply even when they're not deserving
you deserve so much more
for the girl who flinches at her own reflection in the mirror
look a little closer
for the girl about to throw herself into the darkness
open the blinds, let in the sun
for the girl who goes to sleep each night hoping for a brighter tomorrow
you are not alone
- i have been her, and i still am.

Author's Note
Second and last entry for the 'the sun and her flowers' competition. It came so naturally after reading some of her works... It had to be shared.

A lovely entry to the Classic Kaur challenge. I think you have Rupi pegged.

That is so very nice to read, Johnny. :) It's easy to find her in my own words at any given time.

What a wonderful second offering, Delanee. I love that you incorporated yourself. It is very reflective of the inspirational poem. Well done and best of luck in the comp!

Thank you, Ahavati. I tried to make it my own, but still have it reflect the inspiration that served for it indeed. I'm glad you seem to think I have succeeded. :)

Delaney, love reading this advice to women who struggle with self image. Your words were beautiful in their support for your sisters. Love where this took me on a lonely afternoon. John
