Note (12/29/24): This poem was written and submitted as a project for my graphic design class in 2012 at OCC in Syracuse NY. I will find the images and upload. It was a photograph background with my poem written on the image graphically. I remember writing this poem in 2012/2013 timeframe.

I have begun.

To look at myself.

Without the glasses of judgement.

I have love for myself.

Within myself.

And the best way to see that.

Is through my own eyes.

Without the assistance.

Of visual aids.

This is a memoir of what my senses.

And every molecule of my being.

Experience.

And recollection.
