It Took Me Awhile
By: Marissa Ammon
It took me awhile
To find myself
and realize why
I was the elephant in the room
It took me awhile
to accept my differences,
to understand others
the way some failed to do with me
It took me awhile
to stop labeling
figure out my sexuality
Do you figure it out like a puzzle?
You can’t choose, or can you?
It took me awhile
to trust myself
Am I good at anything?
Why can’t I do this?
It took me awhile
to love me
My body image distorted, it changed
It took me awhile
but I found my way
