steady yourself now
self-respect and compassion
both so important
finding the perfect balance
it is not an easy task
illuminating over the realm
we inhabit
toil is the name of the game
exhausting ourselves
giving in, giving up, giving
of ourselves until we can’t any longer
when it’s over, we retreat
putting the day to bed
yet
if only we could learn
to be like the sun
knowing that brilliance
is effortless when you’re on
every hour, every day
I am not a failure, ever.
Inspired by Sadje’s What do you see #91
self-doubt oozes over
and down me
sickly
thickly
weighing me down
this self-imposed
self-preservation
and self-defeating tactic
hiding from everyone
staying stuck in myself
i remain unable to thrive
What do you see when you look in the mirror? Acceptance or rejection? This piece is very relatable. We go through our lifetimes constantly reflecting and questioning ourselves. Deepa does a good job of illustrating that in this post.
i will care enough
just short
of my destruction
all encounters
have earned
my compassion
but no one
deserves
to end me
