How?

Violet_Writes

How can I be gentle with myself when everyone is so rough?
How can I hold myself and say I’m beautiful in every way,
When people say I’m worthless, a mistake,
And that my body should be a shame?

 

How do I love myself when all I know is hate,
And my mind starts breaking, crumbling, falling away?

    An image that works both ways where we treat ourselves based on how others treat us and others treat us as we treat ourselves. A thought provoking poem
