Everything I've done so far I

Compared to others

Losing hope and identity

I wanted to be like models

People saw me perfect but I saw myself in

Shadows alone with my wrong thoughts

Eventually I realised that I'm better than that...

    Yes, you should always love yourself as you are, and you should not compare yourself with anyone else. For everyone who loves you, you are the best as you are.

    There is only one you and how awesome you are! Perfect as you are ❤️

  • Comparing yourself with others is a tough one.. It's always a relief to rediscover youorself and become the one you are. Beautiful poem, Anna!
