Letters to the Heart🌹

It's To You.

To the you that never stops trying,
To the you that never says never,
Also, To the you that has cried off to sleep and let your tears dry on your pillow,
To the you that gets mad when you read and don't remember,
To the you that sighs in pain when you eat less but still gain much weight,
To the you that sobs quietly in private because Mom draws her strength from you,
To the you that still has to 'man up' for your sisters even as you walk through red coals,
To the you who hasn't shown Mother the painful welts on your back from being flogged at school for lacking fees,
To the you who has no one at all,
To the you that's afraid of failing and skeptical about winning,
To the you that has compared and contrasted the seemingly perfect lives of others with yours,
To the you that doesn't marvel at how far you've come but at how fast others have gone,
To the you that desires to be known yet wants to lie low,
To the you that feels stupid because you seem to want everything and nothing at the same time,
To the you that needs more than a mirror to see how special you are,
To the you of forever, of ever, of better,
To the Beautiful You.

Your path is here, your legs are only too tender. Your legs will be strengthened, you are only too afraid to try. You are ready to try, your mind is only too doubtful. You have not walked this life before, so it's okay not to be a pro at living.

Listen.

You are winning.
You are on your way.
