'get Into Your Emotions'

When your self-worth takes a dive You start to question your worth You question your reason for being here Should you not have achieved more? Why do you feel so stuck? In the same position Isn't there more that you should have done? That you should have achieved? Your thoughts can sometimes Bring you to a point where you don’t like yourself Or the feelings you have But even that is a facet You have to embrace If you cry today It is okay You are still alive; for a purpose You still have the ability to feel Don’t be afraid to get into your emotions It can be cathartic Don’t ignore what you feel – work through it

I'm definitely trying to work through it-- slowly but surely but it sure can be hard-- and then I get to read motivational poems such as yours and want to strive harder... thank you again for another inspirational write, Missy! Mwahugs! School's over! But summer classes will be rolling around soon, just have 2 weeks off!

Wilma, wonderful inspiring poem, a perfect 7 for me, I am lucky in a way because I have no problem showing my emotions as evident in my writing and tears well they could fill oceans and thanks for visiting my poem, patience, it is rare for me to write funny . . .

The message is clear and truly poetically expressed with conviction gleaned from years of experiences. Emile. #7 "don’t like myself" (yourself?)
