Believing in yourself
can be hard
when all that is heard
or seen
or felt
is the weight
of opinions that devalue you.
No one is able to find their way
unless they find the way
to believe
in themselves
and not believing the lies
we have been told our entire lives.
Especially if they come from yourself.
Seek out those who will build you up.
Learn that fear is not your enemy,
but your companion
who can help you know your strengths
by going forward despite it.
