It’s so easy to feel insecure,
It’s so easy to slip into sadness.
I admire everyone’s bravery,
Bravery to be a better them.
To lift your weeping head,
And continue on the journey.
It’s so easy to feel unworthy,
It’s so easy to slip into self-loathing.
I admire my own reflection,
Just for a moment, before,
I tear it to shreds with disgust.
And continue on the journey.
It’s so difficult to list the ways,
The ways that I love myself.
It’s so difficult to say ‘I Love You’
To the young woman smiling
In this reflection. But, I must
Start the journey of self-love.
Somewhere,
Somewhere,
Here.
