Shedding some light and weight

I have gotten comfortable in my own skin. 

Is it good or bad? I will never know. 

I have bruises and scars that will always show. 

But to me, they are stories which a few will know. 

I have gotten comfortable in my own skin

Well, that’s too much of skin looking at my double chin. 

Do I want to shed this or should I keep it? 

Oh, wait! I will shed who would want to keep the extra weight.

I am a tad bit more confident than I used to be,

Wasn’t this someone I always wanted to be? 

There are layers of skin, which I want to keep, 

Well, at least that is a step which is steep.

I have gotten too comfortable in my own skin,

Is it good or bad? I ask while holding a glass of gin. 

My choices, my experiences, the lessons I learn,

Will they be the same as warned by my elders?

Because I have an intense feeling of longing for something, Damn! I just defined yearn! 

I am comfortable in my own skin. Call me overweight, call me the girl with scars, call me all the names you want. 

I am where I am supposed to be, far away from all your taunts. 

I close my ears from the inside, that’s my way of filtering what gets to my mind. 

Is it good or bad? Well, I am at peace and for the answers…that’s for you to find.
