Advice for the insecure

Be you

Call out to the world

“Differences are ok”

Especially when you

Follow your heart

Go for your dream

Help other people

Inspire

Just reach for the stars

Know your not alone

Let them say what they want to say

Many don’t understand

Never stop educating

Open up

Perservere

Quit hiding

Run out and

Say

“This is me”

Understand that there’s nothing you can do to change the real you

Value your differences

Wear your differences

Explore your differences

You are unique

Zoom into hiding, but to the real you

( I wrote this poem when I was in 7th grade. The current me (9th grade) is going through many problems with mental health, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and being insecure. I randomly found this poem today after the past seven weeks of being in mental hospitals and mental programs and it got me thinking that 7th grade me is right. You shouldn’t have to worry about others thoughts towards you or how to get up to par in the world of popularity. You just have to worry about yourself, your needs, wants, relationships, health, well being. You are all that matters. So if you are out there going through a similar situation like I am, listen to 7th grade me and know that your unique self matters and you are not alone.)
