The Real True me

God has given me the ability

To see the real true me

To see the girl who was abused as a child

From mother to grandmother

The girl who felt rejected

The girl who seemed unloved

The girl who thought she was not pretty

The girl who was insecure with low self-esteem

The girl who turned into a young woman

Faced with the same negative emotions about herself

The woman who escaped into the arms of a man

The woman who thought this man would give her the love she was missing

The young woman who believed in fairytales of love and marriage

The woman who after two babies her dreams were shattered

The woman who lost her way and became promiscuous

The woman who did things as long as a man wanted her if only for one night

The woman who matured and realized that this was wrong

The woman who separated herself from men and dedicated her life to raising her children

The woman who gave her children’s father another chance

In hopes of her fairytale dreams being restored

The woman who realized that things had changed

And made the decision to move forward with someone else

The woman who had hope that maybe this man would love her\

The way she had always yearned to be loved

The woman who suffered much heartache and pain

Who held onto the hope that this man would be the one

The woman who had two more babies

In hopes that her family would be complete

Another dream shattered that filled her with grief

Reality has set in and this woman has learned

To embrace herself in love and not to beat herself up

And to remember that she has had love all along

To continue to be secure in the comfort

Of the arms of the Father up above

Who will always be the greatest lover of all
