'Be Yourself, Love Yourself' by Sharon Mendez

Be yourself, Love Yourself


The problem begins with society


You see,

it has a way of planting a tiny seed

within our mind

covering it with cliches,

false conceptions, and perfect

Idealizations

Layer after layer

only dirt

keeping you from finding

that seed

the pressure to be perfect


implanted

right before you even get a chance

to build your shield of self confidence

To find out who you really are

What your strengths are

And why you’re living


the exhaustion

the uncertainty

the damage

To be something so unreachable

It's not easy


But there is still time for change

So find the strength to dig through and stop watering that seed

only growing into a weed

that's invading your natural roots

now watch it dry out

While you make room for your own self

to grow


Plant your new beginning

And shower it with self love

being as you as you can be

And not trying any harder

you're doing exactly what you should do

blossoming on your own
