I AM Something
Poem from my 365 Days of the Written Word blog.
once
a boy who didn't get
what he wanted
told me
"You think you're something?
YOU are nothing!"
because
I didn't bow down to him
or kneel at his feet
in supplication
or defeat
instead
I stood
for myself
and I am HAPPY
that I did
because the TRUTH
of the matter is this:
I AM SOMETHING
and
I AM SOMEONE
worthy of being treated with
decency
and respect
worthy of being
honoured
and cherished
WORTHY
of whomever and whatever I want
if THEY don't see it
or understand it
is NOT my problem
I AM
SOMETHING
and I will NOT forget

I AM a QUEEN
I am beautiful and strong. I give enough love, attention and time to myself
that I have plenty of energy, time, attention, love and compassion
to give to everyone else as well.
I stand up for myself and do NOT compromise myself,
my values or my virtues for anyone else.
I am responsible for my own choices and happiness
and I am the queen of my own life.
I Shine With My Own Light
EACH and EVERY one of us has a light of life and joy and passion inside us.
It is up to you to find whatever thing it is that lifts that joy up and out of you
and SHARE it with the world!
We all have gifts, talents, abilities and dreams.
Whatever YOURS is should be followed, used, shared, chased down and built up!
FIND it and follow it through until you:
SHINE with YOUR own LIGHT!
I Have Dignity, Pride, Decency and Compassion
I am decent.
I am fair.
I am loving.
I am REAL.
I can be proud of myself and my accomplishments in life.
I have passion.
I am compassionate.
I respect myself.
I have dignity.
I treat everyone including MYSELF with respect, dignity, decency and compassion.
I AM Strong
We must know that we are STRONG and capable of handling ANYTHING.
WE ARE STRONG.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
Often we find out by going THROUGH something that we thought we could NOT handle
and surviving it that we have a LOT more strength inside us than we knew.
Many situations in life are like this.
The point is to KNOW that you can handle anything life can throw at you and continue to EXPLORE, LEARN, GROW, TRY and FOLLOW your own dreams.
Be BRAVE because YOU are STRONG!
I Love Myself in Order to Love Others
If you don't show love to yourself
how will you ever have the energy and emotion to show it to others?
If you don't give yourself time and attention occasionally
you will not be mentally, emotionally and physically well and whole and happy
and then able to share love and attention with others.
It is IMPORTANT to take SOME time for yourself.
Whether it is five minutes a day or one whole day a week (or month)
depending on your busy schedule just make some time for yourself.
Take a long bubble bath and recharge.
Stay in bed and read a book.
Curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and watch a chick flick.
WHATEVER it is that gives you some quality quiet time to yourself for rest, relaxation or just reflection on the past few days,
TAKE IT!
YOU deserve some love and attention
just as much as EVERYONE you are usually giving all of your time and attention to!
I Forgive Myself for Mistakes
A parent forgives their child for a wrong doing.
A brother forgives his sibling for some petty grievance.
A sister forgives her sibling for a stolen boyfriend.
A best friend forgives her friend for a lie.
A child forgives their parent for "magical stories".
A husband forgives his wife for an affair.
A wife forgives her husband for gambling their rent away.
Children forgive their drug addicted parents when sobriety is reached and repentance owned.
A friend forgives a friend for a perceived transgression.
A mother forgives her daughter for becoming an alcoholic and wasting her life in a bottle.
Many transgressions, sorrows and horrors are forgiven EVERY DAY.
WHY can't you forgive YOURSELF for whatever thing it is that you have done?
You are HUMAN, like any of us and you make mistakes.
BE SORRY.
Allow YOURSELF healing.
Forgive yourself and let it GO.
Move ON!
YOU deserve forgiveness too.
I Accept Myself and MY Own Flaws
Part of healing and letting go of the pain and moving ON
is acceptance of our own flaws and imperfections.
Accepting allows us to recognize that we ARE no different than anyone else and that we ALL have faults, flaws, imperfections, and weaknesses.
We ALL make mistakes but we can be forgiven and move forward.
Accepting allows you to CHANGE the things you CAN change
and acknowledge things you can't change as PART OF YOU.
There is always room for improvement and growth for ourselves AND for others.
You would accept and forgive their flaws and imperfections so
WHY can't you do the same thing for YOURSELF?
YOU deserve acceptance TOO!
I Do NOT Compromise Myself
If you believe in something NEVER compromise it to please someone else.
YOU are equally entitled to beliefs, ideas, feelings and opinions about EVERYTHING.
Sometimes we can feel threatened or afraid to speak our own voice
but it is necessary to SPEAK.
"Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes."
How beautiful is that?
In the end the only person you hurt when you compromise yourself
(especially when the reason is not to hurt them) IS yourself.
Be BRAVE and STAND strong and firm for whatever it is that you believe in.
I Stand Up for Myself
When faced with situations where you feel manipulated, used or controlled
STAND UP for yourself!
Don't let people push you to do things you really don't want to do
or that compromise your own beliefs or feelings.
If your family and friends really love you they will come around
to understanding when something is important to you.
If they don't, they aren't really LISTENING to you are they?
IF you really believe in it, don't give up!
There comes a time in life for whatever reason that SOMEONE stands against us on a cause, idea or decision and the reason IS so that we can stand up for ourselves,
that we can KNOW deeply and understand just how much a part of us our choice was, how important, how vital and how much we will RISK to obtain it or reach it!
It is ok! It is part of the journey and it happens for EVERYONE.
We ALL have to learn sometime that we CAN fight for something we believe in
AND that doing so can be worth EVERYTHING!
I Am TRUE to MY Own Heart
BE true to your own heart.
Be TRUE to yourself.
FOLLOW your dreams.
BELIEVE in YOU.
Follow the FLOW of YOU.
Take the time to find out what the flow of you IS.
Try new things.
Find your passion.
BELIEVE in YOU!
I Respect Myself and Others
I must first learn to respect myself and then I will also respect others.
If I don't respect myself in the first place WHY would anyone else bother?
WE have to set the standards we expect people to reach in their dealings with us
and NEVER settle for less.If we don't respect ourselves and it shows in the way we present ourselves and take care of our appearance and in our demeanor
then what we will be expressing to the world is that we don't CARE and they will NOT either.
SHOW YOURSELF respect and dignity and other people will also.
GIVE respect to other people and you will earn it as well.
I Know What I Am Worth
NEVER settle for less than you are worth.
NEVER let people (this includes family, friends and significant others) take advantage of you.
NEVER allow them to control you or manipulate you out of fear or guilt.
YOU must learn and KNOW that you are a valuable human being
with your OWN voice, opinions, ideas, feelings and needs and ALL of them are equally as valid as anyone else.
YOU deserve to be loved and treated decently and with respect.
NEVER accept anything less.
I Know Who I Am
It is important to know who you are and what you stand for in life.
To know what you like and what you don't like.
To know what you will fight for and what you don't care about...
To know what you want and what you don't want
you have to try different things and explore different areas of life.
Sometimes going outside of your comfort zone.
Sometimes you will find something you THOUGHT
YOU must DARE to find out, DARE to know who you are.
I LIKE Myself
It is a journey and a process for many of us
to find ourselves and learn to accept ourselves
flaws and imperfections and all.
We MUST do so.
I had a little wall plaque once that said it all.
It always made me think of my father and I'm proud of the life lessons I learned
from both he and my mother about honesty and integrity and who I am.
The poem always served as a reminder.
The poem on the plaque read:
The Man In The Mirror
If you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say
For it isn't a man's father, mother or wife
Whose judgement upon him must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in his life
Is the man staring back from the glass
He's the fellow to please, never mind the rest
For he's with you clear up to the end
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward wil be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass
It's a poem that has served me throughout my whole life
and all I can say is that it's TRUE.
YOU are the person you have to live with at the end of all things
so if you DON'T see someone you LIKE in the glass
perhaps it is long overdue time for some CHANGES.
