Accept Yourself

A self-worth poem

You’re more than willing to accept others

For the wonderful beings that they are

But when it comes to everything about you

You disregard yourself and your scars.

If you could only see your worth

You’re capable of shining bright too

You’re more than ready to live life

Instead of feeling so stuck and blue.

See yourself like you see the underdogs

The misfits and the misunderstood

You see so much greatness in all of them

By helping them in a way only you could.

Accept yourself for who you are

See yourself for all you could be

One day you’ll realize your potential

But for now, love yourself for me.
