A little while ago, i didn't love myself
i thought i wasn't beautiful enough
and i wasn't smart enough
i know it may probably sound strange to you
but its the truth.
it took me a while to love myself
and appreciated the person that i am.
i felt ignored,not cared for, and unwanted.
i had dreams and wishes but never
dared to voice them out cos of fear of
being ridiculed.
i wasn't confident in myself and in my abilities
neither was i strong enough to laugh at my weakness
so others did it for me.
i cared about what others thought was good for me
than what i wanted for myself.
but all that was a little while ago
i am a strong-minded person
who believes and love herself.
an assertive and independent person
who cares first for her well-being and happiness
before anything else. i now know im beautiful
inside out and i never cease to laugh at my weakness,
but a little while ago, my now would only have been my
fantasy and not my now a little while ago.
