to be or not to be
sitting down she looks around
she’s alone but she doesn’t feel alone
silence surrounds her
like people it can be misinterpreted
some people find silence to be awkward and uncomfortable
but not her
she takes comfort in the silence
she’s learned to love herself in the silence
she’s faced with the reality of who she really is in the silence
that image no longer scares her
it was in the silence she was most alone
but it was also in the silence she felt the most love
she found this love from within herself
how can you let others love you if you don’t first love yourself
though she was faced with her imperfections
reality illustrated her strengths in the moments she felt alone
alone in the silence all she had were her thoughts
and her fears
she felt as though in those moments she began to be faced with the question: to be or not to be
to be afraid of her thoughts, fears, and the silence
or to realize her strengths, acknowledge her soul and its beauty, and her worth
now in the silene she’s reminded of how strong is
she’s strong; for in her moments of weakness she reminds herself of the promise of tomorrow
the promise of tomorrow sounds so simple
it is yet so complex
in those those moments, moments feel like hours and the promise of tomorrow years away
she was drawn to its complexity because it was like her
constantly bombarded by society on how she should act she lost sight of who she was
the sickening silence brought her back to reality
her reality hadn’t changed but she had
subtle to others but mind altering to her
she now has the confidence to stand up for herself against herself
she stands up and walks to her mirror
she looks at herself and says, “Don’t forget the promise of tomorrow because you are worth it and because of that you are beautiful”
after saying this statement, the statement she starts her day off with every morning
she smiles because she knows she going to be alright
