Like a tree
My body is
Free
from all the negativity
that is thrown at me

My body is strong
I stand my ground to
prove that this is where
I belong

My beauty is not
defined by all the lies
that society
underlines

My happiness
is not defined
by someone else
and is not dependent
on any one thing
except myself

People can hurt me
drag me down
but scars heal over time
and I will rise back up from the ground

Like a tree
My body
My beauty
My happiness
is defined by only one person

And that person is me
