Take a deep breath.

Out.

Out.

Flaws.

Many of them I can't change.

So what do I do?

Do I keep on dwelling on them?

Of course not.

But why can I do when everyone seems to be constantly reminding me?

What can you do?

No.

What do you want to do?

Do you want to scream and shout.

Tell them to mind their business?

Tell them you can't change it.

Forget about accepting it.

Your heart doesnt want to.

Your mind doesn't want you to.

For those who believe, God made you how he wanted to and he made you that way for a reason.

YOURE BEAUTIFUL.

but I guess you've heard that a million time huh?

From people who just want you to feel good.

From quotes that you read on social media.

BUT I DONT FEEL BEAUTIFUL!

I DON't FEEL GOOD ENOUGH

I DON'T FEEL SMART!

I DON'T FEEL WORTHY.

I'd want to yell but I know they're only trying to help me.

What do I do?

Take some time out for myself.
Beg for school to be over so I can run in my room and shut the world out.

This is the 21st century and its harder than ever.

Guess what babe?

The world ain't getting better.

Nobody's getting nicer.

Nobody cares anymore.

Its an all man for themselves type of game and whether or not we like it,
We're forced to play it.

Slavery was abolished yet I'm still held captive by the ever so present degrades.

What do I do?

Here's what I do.

I forget for a moment, all my flaws. Everything that makes me imperfect.

And I sit and I enjoy what makes.me happy.

Writing.

Playing guitar.

And I sing my heart out.

Can't sing?

I write my heart out.

Can't write?

I talk my heart out.

You're not crazy for talking to yourself.

Once you're speaking positive you know what you're doing.

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE.

Too many people are telling you how to act, how to be, how to feel, how to breathe, how to dress, what to look like.

You are you.

You're not them.

They're not you.

7 billion fingerprints and not one can compare to yours.

Stop trying to be like that girl on Instagram,

Or that girl in you class with the good grades and the boys.

Forget them.

Focus on YOU

FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE BE SELFISH.

They can't see the pain that they caused.

That you deal with.

Let it out.

I'm not asking you to go and scream at them.

Or even talk to them.

But focus on you.

Block out their words.

BREATHE.
