Beneath The Open Sky (Poetry's & Quote)

you

I was bullied in my school years
All of those people comments build a house in my head
Where all I can see was dead end
A house where there were no windows so nobody can point out my flaws,
A house where I was running in circles
Whenever I tried to sleep
I would fall in the depth of the screams

Insecure
Self - conscious
I become my own victim
Letting others win over me
I tried everything
For whenever I used to leave the house all I can hear was their laughs
Wearing baggy clothes to hide my scars
Crying in the dark

What's wrong with me?
Maybe I'm just ugly.
& then one day I wake up and thought this is not how I was raised
I wasn't raised to hurt myself
I wasn't raised to call myself out by ugly names
I wasn't raised for there opinions
I have the same calcium in my bones
The same oxygen in my blood as you,
I want to travel to New heights
Move on from pain and insecurity
And discover myself
But I can't do that no , not until I accept and appreciate my own beauty

How can we do that ?

Find the colours to paint your own world don't let it appear dark & grey
You're magic
Leaves fall ,
reminding us that things can't be stopped from changing
So let all the negativity,
hate and the pain inside of you fall drop by drop on the earths green blanketed floor

Change yourself into the person you want
Accept
Breathe
Glow
Stop feeling small
You're such a pretty soul
Rise from the ashes of your burning bones and burn everyone or anything that trys to pull you down
You hold power of your life don't be scared darling
Let them "Watch You Fly".
