More life

🌞

By Ashley MejiaPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

Folks labeled me many things

But I never heeded to such words

Pure heart

pure heart

pure heart

Did things for the right reason

They might not understand

fending for myself is how I lived

Seen things

Been through things

No I can’t forget

But maybe it’s time to forget

it’s for the better

Certain time stamps in my life

Just starts rolling through my head

And that’s where fighting to be a better me kicks in

I then start putting thoughts in my head such as

“Are you moving fast enough”

“Are you working hard enough”

“Look at everything you’ve been through

I would’ve guess u would’ve been up by now”

but the mind is powerful

Feed it the wrong fuel and you’ll break down

Feed it the right fuel and you’ll be on full gear heading to where you want to be in life

And you know what

I AM ENOUGH I AM ENOUGH

I AM MOVING FAST ENOUGH

I AM WORKING HARD ENOUGH

I AM PROUD OF MYSELF

I AM PROUD OF THE OBSTACLES IVE OVER CAME

I AM PROUD OF THE WOMEN IM BECOMING

I AM PROUD OF THE WOMEN IM GOING TO BE

I AM ENOUGH GOTDAMMIT

Accepting all my wrongs

letting bygones be bygones

Not letting my past define who I am today

Because I am enough

Those are words I don’t tell myself as often

Taking whatever comes my way as it is

Because even through the worst

I always thought I wouldn’t make it out

But you just gotta remind yourself you are enough
