"She looks just like you!" They say, and I beam! But they're saying much more than their saying seems… For I'd never say to her what I constantly say to me… ("You don't measure up, you can't be enough! You're ugly, you're stupid, just keep your mouth shut!") My mind in shock, my heart so hurt, To even think about speaking...

What should I do today Doing everything the same way Watching too much TV It’s putting weight on me Lack of movement causing pain Knees hurt due to weight gain My back hurts if I stand to long Clothes to tight especially my bra Sweets make my day Trouble putting them away No will power to keep at bay When I walk my body sways Going to...

Some are preys Many are under control Acting to feel worthy Many for applause Some for attention Others just for the money They've lost their self esteem.

To my God To the only one that could set me free. My path has become clearer. I've been finding myself. Slowly but surely my confidence is gaining as I learn who I am. Seeing and accepting my worth.

When you bother yourself with things you can not do, You forget what you can. When you hide the real you behind the curtains of your inability, You break the confidence you built for years Into pieces, to be fed to your growing ego. And then, do you feel different? Lose yourself slowly in this world of acceptance? Weakness turned you...

Quote: “You are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.”— Samuel Ullman In realms of self-assurance, let us dwell, Where confidence, a beacon, brightly shines, Like a sun-kissed gem, within us it swells, Igniting paths where success intertwines. Know your value, precious as pure gold, A treasure trove within...

Do not be envious of the water that waters another's yard The grass is always greener, and a reason for their trivial mirth Remember the green grows from dirt We are all victims of light, Polaroid 2D snapshot moments, they are no full picture You fret over paper-images developed in darkness There is nothing too big about you That doesn't already have...
