In My Skin



I don’t know why it took so long
I’ve had this skin for years
It took a lot of living
To get past these doubts and fears
So many loves and losses
Most lessons have a cost
Every wrinkle tells a story
Of something loved and lost
Struggling with self-confidence
And little self-esteem
Believed a life of happiness
Was just a fading dream
Then somewhere on this winding path
I made a subtle turn
Those lessons came together
And showed me what I’d learned
Stopped caring what the world thought
Started trusting in myself
Left those doubts that strangled me
In darkness on a shelf
Beside the things that held me back
Enabling me to be
Comfortable inside this skin
Like I was meant to be
