International Women's Month

You question yourself a lot
and you ask yourself too many questions
like would you ever be enough,
have you ever been enough,
and are you actually enough?

You push yourself so hard,
and made your own scars,
like you have never loved yourself,
have you ever loved yourself,
and have you tried to love yourself?

You are a marvelous being,
a creature more beautiful than a slowly withering flower.
You are a star built from dust.
You are made to shine,
as you shine for others like a sun.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

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." Have a blessed New Year.

We are all like a unique grain of sand on the beach where the movement of just one impacts how light falls on all the rest. Aloha! Rico
