Sitter och går igenom gamla cd-skivor där jag sparat en massa krafs jag haft liggande på datorn förr, och hittade en dikt, eller vad man ska kalla den.
Jag tycker den stämmer så bra på just mig:
I am an ”Un-Beautiful Girl”
I am the girl you may not give a second glance. I know you may look once, then pass me over, for I am too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, too plain, too blemished, too old, too young, too freckled, or just ”too anything”.
I am the girl whose body don’t stop traffic, whose wardrobe is not designer, and whose face will never launch a fleet of ships.
I am the girl whose eyes crinkle when I smile, and whose face line when I laugh, for I’ve done so much of both through my life that my face has been changed forever.
I proudly bear the scars and stretch marks I have gained over the years as badges of honour, and evidence of a life fully lived. I polish my skin, brighten my smiles, and nourish my hair with loving attention, because I know my own worth. I glow from within when I dance, because I love the way my body feel when it moves with the music.
I am the girl who knows what beauty truly is, and I revel in my own. I am the girl who has always had to try just a little harder, and take unending joy in the rewards. I know the immeasurable value of trust, of honesty, of devotion, of loyalty, of tenderness, and of nurturing. I love with everything I have. I give my heart, my body, and my soul, without reservation, to the ones who have taken the time to know who I am, for when they know me, they will be unable to resist me.
I am the girl who is the most richly rewarded by an honest smile, a loving touch, and a simple, heartfelt ”Thank you”. And I will give them all in return, without end. I am the girl who can truly please your eyes and heart, delight all your senses, refresh your tired spirits, and strengthen your soul.
I complete you. I am an ”Un-Beautiful” girl. And only the luckiest few will know my love.
