you always say that you feel like the world views you as a complete void filled with grey
that you don't deserve the praise
or the complimentsor the whole world brewing in your hands
what you have to learn is that you're an assortment of colour
read the books on the rainbow,
the ones that speak of the blue of your open eyes
the red of your kind and caring heart
the yellow of your happiness and positivity
the green of how much you care for the world and others
the pink for the love you spread
the black for the skills you hold, and what you are capable of
let the words drive into your mind.
and repeat them
over
and
over
again
until they have completely sunken in
let yourself know
that you are an entire palette filled with colour
just like the rainbow.
- never let self doubt knock down your wall of confidence
