What ‘ME’ taught me

I’m was often left with a question,

An insecurity of what and who I am.

What did I do all this while,

And what makes me what I’m today.

I often doubt and discourage myself,

Blame the mistakes I did in the past.

The low grades and remarks on my dairy,

The bad impression and lost friends.

But very less that I appreciate the good in myself,

And more of me miserably failing always. 

I saw the bad but never the good within me,

Until one day, I realised my marks and friends won’t display my qualities and the hidden person within me.

I was a bad friendship keeper but I was always a good helpful being.

I was always open to my likes and dislikes.

Which I didn’t know how to keep within.

All which lead to the path I’m right now.

All this while when I think of the past,

It brings a smile on my face or sadness.

Smile for what I achieved and sadness for what i didn’t.

But all it’s does matter now is “ME” alone

The “ME” I didn’t care about when people were judgemental.

When there was no one in my bad times,

The “ME “ made me learn to stand up for myself.

Taught me to appreciate myself for WHO I AM today,

Strong, helpful, beautiful, courageous and most importantly confident!

And so are “YOU”
