Compare
When you compare yourself to others
do you ever come out the same?
Usually we judge ourselves better or worse
- often filling ourselves with shame
If you want to compare,
compare yourself to you
- compare where you were to where you are
and imagine what that would do
Appreciate yourself for how far you’ve come
Acknowledge yourself for all you have done
We often want others to appreciate our strides
Yet true appreciation must come from inside
When you look at yourself,
how do you feel?
Compare yourself to you
because that comparison’s real
Do you imagine people’s lives
are better than your own?
Instead of simply looking back
and seeing how much you’ve grown?
Stop being so hard on yourself
and give yourself some credit
your life is full of blessings
even when you forget it.
