Who I Am

_(Note: I hope whoever sees this reads it because we all need a reminder of our worth sometimes♡♥︎♡♥︎)_


_Who are we when no one is watching?_

_We’re people who cry._

_We’re people who make mistakes._

_We’re people who struggle._

_We’re people who look at others with envy._

_Jealousy._

_We’re people who ask many things over again._

_We’re people with anxiety._

_Depression._

_Health problems._

_Family problems._

_Friend problems._

_We all struggle with things._

_Different things._

_Sometimes I wonder if that’s how we’re connected._

_All are facing different things._

_Equally hard for each of us._

_We bite our tongues to hold back tears._

_We turn our music up to tune out the yelling._

_We look at ourselves differently in the mirror._

_We pretend everything’s fine._

_We’re people who don’t recognize our true value._

_We need to be skinnier._

_Smarter._

_Prettier._

_Happier._

_But those things are impossible._

_You’re going to look in the mirror and hate yourself at least once._

_You’re going to fail a test at least once._

_You’re going to cry at least once._

_Get angry at least once._

_We’re all going to fail at least once._

_And again._

_And again._

_And again._

_It’s just the way of life._

_But you’re not alone._

_There are people who are going through similar things._

_They will never be the same._

_But they will be enough._

_Enough for you._

_Enough for you to feel confident._

_Enough for you to try and be better._

_Enough for you to know your worth._

_Enough to see that it’s ok to not be happy all of the time._

_Because when you take that first step,_

_it might be enough for them._
