A POEM TO YOURSELF πŸ’Ÿ

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

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!
