To My Sisters Out There

The next test that's coming, study for it, but don't think the world will collapse if you don't do well enough; The next time you're on that weighing scale, try to work for losing some weight, but realize that you're not working for a more beautiful you, you're working for a fitter version of you, bear in mind that you already are BEAUTIFUL; To the next time you crush on that guy, remember it's okay to dress a lil cuter when he's around, but don't question your self worth for him; For the next time you'll make a friend, it's okay to be friendly, but don't invest yourself emotionally unless you're sure they are worthy of it; The next time you're told you come off as too ambitious or cold for having a strong opinion at work, remember it's okay to cry about it when you feel like, but don't even consider thinking that it's true; The next time you do all the work and give the credit to someone else, remember no one in the world deserves that kind of sacrifice. Learn to wear the crown whilst handing it over to others; The next time, you describe yourself, do say that you're strong for all you've been through, but work towards calling yourself HAPPY first….. -Preethi Follow me on instagram for more poems: @wordsbypreethi
