A POEM TO YOURSELF π
Oh baby I know how it feels
To hate being touched
Baby I know how bad it is
To think you could've done something
When your soul paralyzed ur mouth
When you felt that skin against yours
I know you feel powerless
I know you feel dirty
But baby ur still beautiful
And u still can smile
Look in the mirror and just smile
I want you to say to the person u see in front of you:
"you're beautiful"
"U are so freaking beautiful
And I am so proud of you
I'm proud to see you've been surviving
While hanging on broken ropes"
I want you to force that smile to that wet face
Touch the cheek
I want you to whisper:
"You're beautiful"
Tell that person everything they need to hear
What they WANT to hear
Cause you know
Tell that person they are strong
Powerful
Tell them "I love you, I am here with you"
Tell the one u see
"Ur so freaking brave
U can do whatever you want
Because only you can decide
What you can
What you cannot do
And I tell you baby...
You can do everything"
This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for this. I love this part
"I'm proud to see you've been surviving
While hanging on broken ropes"
Yes I do agree it is crucial to be kind to yourself. Too often we're our own harshest critics and as a result we don't believe ourselves to be worhty of love. Imagine your inner self is a sweet 5-year-old girl. What would you tell her every day? This!
