Yourself

I want you to know

that amidst those flaws,

blemishes,

scars,

and insecurities,

you are

and always will be

beautiful.

I want you to know

that even if it hurts,

even if you cry,

shout,

curse,

and break down,

you are

and always will be

strong.

I want you to know

that amidst your misfortunes,

problems,

failures,

and setbacks,

there is

and always will be

a miracle.

I want you to know

that sometimes life doesn't treat you right,

that you'd want to stop,

end this,

hurt yourself,

and just give up.

But there is

and will always be

a reason to live.

I want you to know

that you have to hold your head up

and trust yourself,

give yourself a chance,

believe in your potential,

and love yourself,

because there is not,

and will never be

a person

who'd love you

more than you should

love

yourself.
