Self Love: A Stach-dsw Show Piece!

Look at her big eyes, Wide mouth, fat face
You're ugly! This was my daily routine
Every morning without fail
I'd look into the mirror and see a monster.
An ugly freckled monster.

I was a fat ugly girl, that's what all the boys said.
They called me fatso, and they were right.
I was truly ugly... Love was not a word in my vocabulary
My family tried to make me feel loved but it just didn't work.

I hated them all, I hated them so much because they all looked normal, and I looked hideous.
That's how I was from when I was a kid through college.

I'd sleep with anyone that made so much as a pass at me, because I was trying to feel something. I wanted to feel an emotion other than hate.
It never worked, after the act I'd end up feeling worse and disgusted at myself because they never stayed after the night.

I'd decided to kill myself, when I met him.
You're beautiful he said, I was surprised to hear him speak. I'd said here we go ago, I told him he didn't have to say that to get with me, I told him I'd sleep with him for free.

He was startled by what I'd said and wondered why I'd said that, and I was startled by the fact he was startled and in that moment I'd realized he wasn't joking.

I'd never seen myself in that light, yes I'd heard those words from my family but they're my family they have to say that. But hearing it from a stranger who didn't want anything from me.

After that we met a couple times and his kind words made me change the way I'd felt about myself all these years. Now when I look at the mirror I see someone beautiful, and she's smiling at me.

Thanks to my husband for making me see this beautiful lady that was always within but I was blind from. I love you and I love me too.
