Self Love – A Journey
Scars on my face –
Trying to be grateful,
Learning to be grateful
NOW – as I age
Trying hard to love those parts of me, so visible.
My struggles – There for all to judge
For all to see…
Every S I N G L E scar adorning my face
has been a challenge
A battle – So Emotional – So Physical
Painful
Assured we all struggle
I know NOW that we all do
We all have our stories of pain
And I’m still here
Trying to like me
Trying so hard not to judge me
Learning to love
Me
Slowly
Year by year. It does get better.
If you’re struggling now,
If you feel you’re not worthy, good enough, beautiful enough…
Please, learn to find compassion for YOU
Learn to love all parts of you
Search deep inside
Because you are so incredibly
worth it
Don’t let the outside define you
Look inside you and let that shine through
Every single cell of you
Don’t ever let OTHERS define you
You are different
Thank goodness!!
Embrace it – your essence
Stay strong – believe in all that you are
Stardust, atoms, particles, energy
Now that is bigger than anything else…any minor detail
Wow….that’s like the milky way – the UNIVERSE!
YOU are that and so much more
No matter the discolouring, the scars, the craters, the bumps and lumps –
You are so much more than that
You are heart, you are soul
You are colour and light
You are breath
You are energy
You are in control
Of your destiny
Your thoughts & your path
Keep going
Don’t E V E R forget – You are awesome
That you are,
a MIRACLE!
