14 days until my rebirth.....

Where I gain my self esteem...and discover self worth...

So I can begin my new life as I physically get smaller...

Where I can walk into a room and suddenly feel taller....

To look in a mirror To stare at myself and smile....

to wear all the cute things that are temporarily in style...

I'm dreaming of the days I can walk into a store...

And save a little money cause u know the plus sizes are more...

To never go to another restaurant and feel my face red with heat....

When I go to sit in a booth and cant squeeze into the seat..

To walk up some stairs, or walk half a block

and not feel like I can't breath or as if my heart will just stop..

To date and feel wanted by men u desire...

To not settle for anything your heart doesn't admire...

14 days until my rebirth..

it will feel like my first time living on Earth..

to blend in with strangers and not feel all the stares...

of the people that look and judge at the things that I wear...

to not hear the whispers if only in my mind...

of the people that look and think things that arent so kind..

I will show them all Im on this Earth and will live longer..

Because Im going to be reborn a million times stronger...
