Poet's note: I wrote this a few years ago to myself and for myself
I have battled with my body image for over 10 years and in that way, this poem was a subconscious cry for help.
After writing this poem I knew I needed to "set myself free" of both the physical and mental inflictions I had put on myself. I am still struggling but I am making progress slowly every day. This is a reminder to me to push on. This may also remind readers that no matter how a person expresses themselves on the outside, things may always be different for them. The worst judge I've ever seen is always you on yourself.
