I can still be okay with me
Even if you don't like me
Or love me;
Even if you put me down,
Make fun of me,
Hate me.
I can still be okay with me.
Even if you ignore me,
Treat me like a nothing,
Reject me -
Doesn't matter,
I can still be okay with me.
My value and worth
Does not come from you.
I already have it.
I was born with it.
I was born precious and worthwhile.
No matter what age I am,
I am still precious and worthwhile.
Nothing you can do or not do
Will ever take away my self-worth.
None of your actions, behaviors or words
That are cruel and unkind
Will ever tear me down,
Because I was created beautifully
To withstand any of your harm;
As long as I keep remembering
Who I am
A precious creature -
Filled with amazing strength
That won't allow your meanness
To crush me.
It can't crush me
Because I won't allow it -
Ever!
- Connie Webb
