For Me

I did it! I did it for me…not you, not for someone else… Fact that I’ve discovered my worth, accepted my self… I did it for me, I finally sought out help… Not for you, not for them but for myself…my future happy self. Living anxiety, self-judgment, worry, depression, jealousy, pain, anger… I had enough, enough of being exhausted and never being enough, a never ending rot. Numbing, ignoring, hiding, waiting… Not wanting to give up. Hunger for my help; for something better. Realizing I’m my helper, I’m my partner, I’m my own and main source of strength… I’m my future’s chance to be content. At last I reach out, I talk, I share, I feel… I’m feeling… Progressing every day, every hour, every minute…a long, hard, rewarding battle. Aiming… Aiming for my goals, a healthy self; a nurturing relationship with myself… For my body, friendships, and a future healthy love… Not for you, not for them, but for me… Me! Myself! and no one else. As I’ve discovered my worth. I’ve accepted myself.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
