you

for all people, who feel ashamed of who they are

when will you become, after i am
what i came to be, like your heart
says you are, has always been,
will always be, no permanence
along the lines on your palms,
that you can't twist and blot out
to a form you can feel and imagine
no remorse over the color of your eyes,
if you can see me, clearly,
more than you can see what they said
you ought to be, please believe me,
when i say with all my heart,
you are the one for you, no angel
could come closer to your skin,
and watch you grow in the sun,
like the boy/girl you were, forever
in an epic time in the universe,
ever seeking, ever growing in itself

Positive and encouraging poem. I hope it lifts people up/cheers them up/comforts them who are in need of.

very uplifting poems you've written :), strong messages while being very straightforward.. everyone should love/respect/forgive themselves. or else i think its being hypocritical and prideful of oneself..... for instance if the Lord or our love ones can love us and vindicate us during our shortcomings , us by not doing the same are claiming to be better/or more right than they are... just a thought.... great poems.

You are the best Steph you can possibly be and no one can do it better than you! Indeed, we are often our own worst critics. We must be softer on judging ourselves. Very uplifting. I liked this. Lydi**

i don't want anyone to feel unaccepted, unloved - no one deserves an act of meanness - i want to believe i deserve a second chance, so i want to believe that for others too - thank you so much, lydia for the wonderful visit and lovely comment :)

much love,
steph

This is an absolutely beautiful and positive piece, that shows great empathy for your fellow travellers of this earth.

love makes the world go around - if it were not for love, the human race wouldn't have survived - i would not have had the joy and pleasure in knowing my family and friends, including you :)

best,
steph
