Even amongst her family,
She saw herself as a stranger
She iss the 2nd girl among three girls of her parents
Her brothers showed her more recognition than her sisters and Mom included
She was quite different from them
Beautiful yes but the rest were way prettier than her

When her elder sister got married,
She chose her younger sister to be the maid of honor
Soon after, her younger sister got married to an abroad man and everything seemed to be going well for her
She would always make time to go to her house and help with her baby
She's quite good

She suddenly had this outburst of acne on her face
The more she treated the worse they got until not a single space was left on her face
Honestly, it was quite bad
She couldn't get herself to go out
She'd lock herself up
Refusing to attend to strangers
The questions were too much

One of her friends heard what was up with her
She went to her house and told her to dress up
They went out for ice cream and ate in
She told her that if your self esteem comes from your physical looks, then you're of all people most miserable
Your self esteem should come from

Knowledge of who you are in Christ Jesus
A princess
An heir to the Promise
God's chosen one
A reflection of the glory of God made in the image and likeness of God
She told her as much as she's taking her meds she should lay hands on her face every time and speak death to the acne

Power of life and death is in the tongue
Read your Bible and know who you are and your rights as a child of God.
She took it religiously
Every morning and night she laid hands on her face and spoke death to the acne
She must have lost consciousness of it because shortly after...

...one of her brother's friend came in from abroad.
Her disposition affected him so much
He took her number and within a year, they got married and he took her with him abroad.
Now she's the financial break of their family and her mum worships her.
