Self…remember your worth
Focused on what’s gone instead of what’s left. Scared for what could happen instead of loving the moment. Stop letting fear win. Bask in the possibilities of what still might be.

And when I behold my greatness, I falter. For great is a heavy word. What if I behold mediocrity? Yes, that feels right. For greatness is reserved for heroes, And I am no hero. I am simple and flawed, Trapped within insecurities I cannot defy. Trapped within feelings that Control my thoughts. What if I … Continue reading Behold my greatness
