POEM STARTER

Who are we when no one is watching?

Write a poem that answers this question.

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.
