I hate What I see..

poem by: Wendy Phelan
Written on Nov 11, 2015

I hate what I see
I am sick of what I feel
I know these thoughts are toxic
But to me they seem so real

I wish I could see,
What others see in me
I wasn't good enough for Mother
She wasn't good enough for me

I long to love my inside
But I despise my reflection
I know I have a good heart
But nowhere near perfection

I look so deep but do not see
If only they could see just that part
I only that was seen before seeing me
Then I would be as perfect as she..

I wish that she would have loved me
I would do anything for that to be
But all she does is hurt me 
I don't want to hate what I see

You're Enough - Do you know, even God needs you more than you needing Him?! It's our ego that hurts.
