To ignite this fire inside of me,

I had to let go of all I was ashamed of.

All of the flaws- my tiny imperfections such as the bags underneath my eyes or the roughness of my skin.

But somedays acceptance is the hardest and life is too erratic, bouncing around in all its livelihood.

And sometimes it consumes me and becomes suffocating,

but one day I’ll learn how to breathe again.
