Self Worth Poems - Poems about Self Worth

God Gave Me You

We both jumped off a cliff, 
I fell 
You flew 

We both went for a dip,
You swam
I sank to darker hues

Each night my dreams play 
On replay
These similar troublesome tales
Yet the day brings the light
Which reflects the words I only dare believe 
From your eyes
And the rhythm of your heart 
Beats several strides slower
Just so

I’ve Paid My Dues

to be of use
without abuse
there’s no excuse
a bit obtuse?
well-cooked my goose?
slide on the noose?

that I refuse!

slip on my shoes
spread the news
do not confuse
it’s not a ruse
but what I choose
I’ve paid my dues

Undone

UNDONE

I have come undone
Powerless as one
My heart is heavy, my thoughts run deep
I'm drowning in the tears I weep
Searching for a sacred place
To help me mend my fall from Grace
Looking out to see the light 
As darkness falls on silent night
Just one more prayer to save my soul
Reclaim a life that lost control
Free the past

I'm so sorry to those who know me!

[“The only problem in life was myself”]
…
I’m a huge burden, and I’m able to recognize that. Perhaps it’s my mind speaking, though that is my true perception, and mayhaps unchangeable. No amount of therapy, nor any amount of reassurance can change my self worth; in reality, only I am capable of that.
Only I am capable

You Were Always Enough

Ah, you are so young still,
too tender to see how the storms are shaping you.
These trials—though heavy now—
are quietly teaching you how to rise.

Do you know, even now,
you are already on the right path?
One day, you will stand fierce—
undaunted, unbroken—
no matter what life dares to place in your way.

Your strength is already blooming.

I thought I’d be the one

I thought I’d be the one
someone would fight to keep.

That my absence would make you pause,
that my silence would make you care.

I wasn’t asking for the world—
just a sign that I mattered.

But here I stand,
wondering if I’ll always be
the one waiting to be seen.

Maybe I’m learning now:
No one’s coming back.

The fight I was waiting for
starts

Seeking Worth

Alienated into thinking I needed validation
Becoming a little rough on the edges
Cornered heart seeks originality 
Diamond mind has been rusted 
Emotional value is increasing 
Fighting through it all
Grandiosity never came
Hi everyone, what shall we do next? 
Interesting way of introducing,
Jeopardising oneself, making myself the clown.
Kind enough to reinvent itself 
Limerence of fanatical behaviours
Mandatory to health,

Mattering

What does it mean to matter?
How do you get to matter more,
when your mattering takes
a battering at its core.
Do we want to matter in the moment, 
or is it what we leave behind 
that really matters?
Does mattering lie in the hands we hold,
In the whispers to the heart and soul
In things we touch, 
In the

Self love

Have you ever wondered why,
Why would people love you?
Why would they care?
Why would you be worth the effort?

Then also wonder why...
Why should you not love yourself?
Why should you not care?
Why are you not worthy?

If love comes with a condition,
Why would it be love?
At least you should not put conditions,
In your path of self-love.

Give yourself a

The final Destination

As this train will come to a stop unexpectedly in the happy hour, 
And the station is a thousand miles more, yet not there but, 
The urge to go back and book again, but how? 
True, nobody can know, nobody will know 
That Lions and bears cry too 
And they crave just 
A little love

Sonnet 10: Self Worth

If I proclaim my visage fair and true,
Who dares to counter what my lips declare?
If I resist the thoughts that evil brew,
Whose aim it is to strip my pride laid bare?

Who shall oppose the judgment I bestow,
When in my heart such certainty is found?
For I am shaped by hands that grace doth know,
By Heaven’s will,

I'm a bastard

Sometimes, I don't recognize the face I see, 

Haunted by the echoes of who I used to be. 

Influences, reflections, blood ties that bind, 

Leave me feeling lost, leaving scars behind. 


Ashamed of the shadows that linger in my past, 

A burden I carry, heavy and vast. 

Memories like ghosts, trailing in my wake, 

This

I'm not quintessence

At the end of the day,
I pour my soul into these words, they say,
These scars, they tell stories of my past,
But they don't define me, they won't last. 

It's been a journey, finding joy amidst the pain,
Learning to dance in the sunshine, not just in the rain. 
Yet lately, shadows loom, threatening to pull me

Self Worth

Self Worth is happiness 
Self worth is living your own life 
Self Worth is not guiding a person into a ditch
Self Worth is not laughing at the unhealthy 
Self Worth is telling a friend the truth
Self Worth is uplifting
Self Worth is positive
Self Worth is not how pretty you are
Self Worth is not how rich you

I Crave The Light You Bring Everyday

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
