To this day

"My experience with violence in schools still echo

throughout my life but standing to face the problem has

helped me in immeasurable ways."

Shane Koyczan

To This Day

.

.

to this day

despite a loving husband

she doesn’t think she’s beautiful

because of a birthmark

that takes up a little less than half of her face

kids used to say she looks like a wrong answer

that someone tried to erase

but couldn’t quite get the job done

and they’ll never understand

that she’s raising two kids

whose definition of beauty

begins with the word mom

because they see her heart

before they see her skin

that she’s only ever always been amazing

.
