what do you see when you look at me....

Mon, 10/21/2013 - 20:31 -- samrho

I see someone that feels lonely most of the time 

Someone who fits in but sometimes feels left out 

A girl who is scared to enter the real world because she feels like whe would not be welcomed properly.

An only child that feels like she is not being listened to because no one cares about her opinion 

One that has a lot of friends but feels like they gave up on her and found someone else.

But hey guess what that's not all that she sees 

Sometimes she sees someone that says hey I'm going to do me and no one else

Who cares what people think because in the end I'm making myslef happy and no one else.

I have to live with the mistakes I make. 

I have to answer to God oneday about how I lived my life whether I lived it according to my abilities or I just did whatever i wanted. 

I have to answer for the choices I made. 

I have poeple around me that care for me a lot and I'm greatful for them everyday

No one can compare to them and I wont give them up for any reason.

I say this to myself most of the time

Especially when I'm feeling down

Lift you head up, don't look down, let people know who you are

Don't underestimate yourself. 

Believe in you because when you do others would also start to believe in you 

You are a beautiful Black Woman who has a lot to offer the world. 

Don't let anyone bring you down

Smile all the time and let people know that you are doing you and no one else

And no one I mean no one can stop you from becoming your true self and achieving your goals.
