I'm Still Healing

I'm trying hard to be
The best me I can be
Have a little empathy for me
I have so many scars
Due to my tumultuous past
I'm still healing from my
Caretakers misdeeds

It's taken me so long
To learn to love myself as I am
To truly believe I am enough
But now I know I can
Life has never been easy
I just go with the flow now

Please don't criticize me
I'm taking baby steps
To get where I was meant to be
My progress is rather slow
But it moves so steadily
I may have a long way to go
Just remember I'm still healing
