Raquazia Gross, "Imagine Me"

Imagine me loving what I see

when the mirror looks at me,

because I imagine letting go

of all the ones who hurt me.

They never did deserve me.

Can you imagine me saying NO

to thoughts that try to control me

remembering all everyone told me?

Can you

imagine me

in a place of no insecurities?

I'm finally happy because

I imagine me.

Deadpool-Finished?

I added the question mark to the end of "finished" because I am not completely satisfied with the outcome...it might be one of those instances where I'm so sick of looking at a piece that I just can't think straight anymore. I'm going to wait a couple days before I go ahead and print it, just to be sure.
