Criticism

Caring dove

Words to self 

that are negative , critical 

are almost 

like the loud wind 

speaking 

they are not gentle 

like the breeze breathing kindly 

 

they aren’t helping you 

yet somehow you 

find yourself 

being away from the gentle breeze 

being like that little bit harsh towards yourself 

 

then you wander why 

why, when it’s not helping 

 

because we find ourselves 

in a place of not feeling our best 

not feeling like ourselves 

lacking in confidence 



we should speak to ourselves 

gently 

like the breeze

    I think those negative feelings are quite common Caring Dove. You are a beautiful person and you deserve to have a gentle breeze, no loud noise. Be kind to yourself. This poem conveys your emotions well to this reader. Wishing you better.

        Keep telling yourself you deserve to be happy and content. Look in the mirror and say it.

        We should be more gentle to ourselves…be more loving and empathetic. Without doubt! I know I needed to read this. Well done, Caring Dove! Thank you for your vulnerability! ❤️🙏 Wishing you that gentle breeze.

          Another poem, touched with emotion. It all to easy to be oversensitive when we are feeling down and beat ourselves up, but follow Cassie advice and look in that mirror. All the best

              A wonderful poem,
              thoughts, emotions
              and advice I must say!!👍
              Yes we should all speak
              to ourselves
              gently like the breeze
              that is the best way! 💯
              Best wishes 🍀🤗🌹 Thad

              Yes, at times we might be more horrible to ourselves than we are to others and think: 'I would never say that to him/her, but I say it to myself at times'. Or we might balance the negative and the positive things we say to ourselves.
