From Thoughts To Words

Canvas/Skin 2.

My skin is the canvas upon which I paint my feelings,
But today I paint not in my blood, but in ink.
Today I do not cut or slash.
Today I write.
And there is no negative talk today.
Today my journal will be full of positivity.
Today I am happy,
Today I am healthy,
Today I am beautiful,
Today I am kind to myself,
Today I am calm,
Today I am the best,
Today I am love,
Today I am strong,
Today I am generous,
Today I am content,
Today I am enough,
Today I am alive.
I write these words next to those that I have been carving on me for so long.
I will not write over them,
I will not cross them out,
They are a part of me,
As this new part is too,
I will let the co-exist.
I will let this words be a testimony to my growth.
