People who face that mirror

That reflection that you face

That face that by the end of the day is still, you

Never does it go away because it continues to mock you and tear you down everyday

Please don’t fear that self made reflection as it is

“Just your imagination”

Told to you by that therapist who couldn’t care about your wellbeing anyway

These pleads for someone to save you have been heard

I want to speak upon the fact that your never alone in this battle

And through the pieces

Just be yourself - Chikin Joy

Man passes liked the clouds - Herbert Logerie

You are loved - Roger Pinches

Hands - Erick Humphrery

Appreciate yourself - Line Gauthier

Be yourself - Ellen Bailey

I love being me - Gemma Hayton

Pain ends me - Katy A. Brown

As I decided to love myself - Charlie Chaplin

I will speak about what you may be going through in this seemingly endless cycle

I have a mirror in my room

It used to be my friend but now it only teases me

It shows just how much I should hate my form.

Contemplating not knowing what to do or who to become, had became a life’s affair.

Each side of my brain in chains with my thoughts wrapped around the wrists of my regret and my anxiety is just trying to find a place in my head

Feeling only pain and uncontrollable gloom

In this world of possession, Where, criticism creates frustration.

I fight myself because of what I see

I shake my head at what I made me

The low confidence we tend to bring

It greets honest tolling with open derision

This is not a fairy tail that we’ve dreamt of, fantasize, or speculated to be

That leaves us feeling bare

The hatred that lives to burn within me, is ever so intoxicating

What you are is a person with a chance at life

A life that is so precious We would be happier admitting this concept is completely fictitious

See, our thoughts sometimes are ruptured by the ideas in our head

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Low self-esteem is a thinking disorder in which an individual views him/herself as inadequate, unlovable, and/or incompetent.

95% of teens have felt inferior at some point in their lives.

Three-fourths of girls with low self-esteem engage in negative activities such as disordered eating, bullying, smoking or drinking.

I know there’s someone who felt just like me

For a moment we lie to ourselves placing it safely and securely on a shelf

That society plants within our minds

It weakens the efforts of artisans clever

Why pretend to be someone you are not

When you have something they haven’t got

You can never hate yourself

Self love is the only ocean you never drown in

It doesn't make you a selfish person thinking about your own happiness.

In fact, you inspire others especially those being affected by that madness.

Have you ever seen butterflies that have similar wing patterns?

Well for me, I've not.

We're all given a set of crayons.

It may come in 12-pack, 16-pack or even the 48-pack.

But regardless the number,

Be sure that you make use every bit of it to colour the life you've always wanted to live.

I had no idea

If you listen to yourself

Your soul will bring your answers to the ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Success is failure turned inside out

Its when things seem worst that you must not quit!

When you're afraid of being alone

Remember ~ you are loved.

When your sadness comes to an end

And everything is going right

May you think of your family and friends

And keep their love in sight

A thank-you for being loved.

May you see the love around you

In everything you do

And when troubles seem to surround you

May all the love shine through

You are blessed ~ you are loved

I can’t run the fastest

I can’t swim the sea

I can’t kick a ball or even climb a tree

Can’t is the worst word that’s written or spoken

If someone does not want me

It isn’t the end of the world

But if I do not want me

The world is nothing but endings

Pay no attention to the toxic thoughts,

Listen to those who adore everything you are.

Overthinking was what you once were taught,

But now those thoughts you put in a jar.

Don't forget that someone will always love you

They’ll always love you as long as you love yourself

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born.

Today I know THAT IS LIFE.

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment.

I love myself.

The quietest, simplest, most powerful revolution ever.
