SELF ACCEPTANCE

If I could be just anyone,

I tell you who I’d be,

I’d be the one I shunned before,

I’d be the younger me.

I’d be the one I criticized,

The one from head to feet,

I’d have the body hated then

And wanted to delete.

Hindsight’s twenty-twenty,

For it is now I see,

If I could choose the one to be,

I’d be the younger me.
