A note to self.

 

We often find ourselves stuck amidst a hundred of thoughts, thinking that hey, we aren’t good enough, or how there are many essential qualities we lack, but how often do we find ourselves telling ourselves that “hey, you, you are truly amazing”. The words we ascertain from people around us and the impact society has on us in today’s world is indescribable. So here is a small poem, to us.

Dear self,

Sometimes you mustn’t forget who you are.

The self within you. The truest of you.

Don’t let the words of this cruel society and people get to you,

You’re better when you’re you.

You need pain to understand how important it is to feel comfort;

To appreciate the little things life has to offer.

To hear the simple words that could make you smile again.

A thank you,

A sorry,

Or even a goodbye could be beautiful.

To realize that there is a big, wide world waiting to be explored.

Dear self,

You’re too hard on yourself,

Those deeply rooted wounds, are not worth it, never were,

So please, for the love of god, don’t beat yourself,

You’ve, come this far, and still have a long way to cover.

To know that above all this you are still alive.

You feel the pain because you are alive.

It makes you more alive.

 

Dear self,

Let your broken heart heal,

Pain that is achingly beautiful might yield you things you possibly haven’t thought of.

Don’t let your desire to do what you want to die,

It’s not over yet, you have a long way ahead to go.

Know, that you are worth every ounce of happiness

And know, that your soul is pure and immensely beautiful.

You yet have a lot to learn, a lot of new experiences coming your way,

Let God guide you through the best of your capabilities,

But until then, don’t lose hope, and most importantly don’t lose yourself.

Dear self,

Let these tough paths be your strength,

Let yourself see, the beauty, within you, that is currently hidden under the cruel words of this society.

Love yourself,

Forever and always.

Hope you liked reading this, it’s just a little something we all need to know, something that we should learn, we aren’t shaped by the world and their words definitely don’t shape us either. We shape ourselves, and most importantly, don’t take the harsh words you receive on a regular basis to your heart, you’re better than that, know it!
Happy reading!
