Me

I'm aware that I haven't posted a photo of myself in a while

And if I have 

It's only been a head shot

I guess I have been self conscious about the way I look 

In my new scaffolding

I mean underwear

All the new curves and shapes 

Lumps and bumps 

So here I am 

Ruby 

Im not perfect 

I have too many flaws to count 

But this body is the only one I've got 

So I'm going to keep it

Like I had a choice anyway 

I am Ruby

I am a 34 year old woman

I have a past 

Like everyone does 

But I'm trying to make the most of my life 

And live in the here and now 

I am Ruby 

I've made many mistakes in my life 

But I've learnt from them 

And try not to repeat them 

I am Ruby

I am a good person 

I didn't always believe this 

But now I starting to believe that I am 

I am Ruby 

I am in recovery 

From addiction and disordered eating 

I am Ruby 

Here I am
