How Do I Empower You Poem

How Do I Empower You?

 

how do i convince you that there is more to life than boys, makeup, trends and clothes? and how do i convince you that that something "more" is actually worth going after.

that searching deeper within yourself will lead to beautiful discoveries of who you are…

but first, how do I prove to you that who you are is worth discovering?

how do i go against everything you have been told? how do i stand a chance - to broaden your perspective, change the narrative - against everything you have been taught and sold to ever since the day you were born?

how do i undo the damage the words “not good enough” has done to you?

how do i redefine your definition of beautiful into one that includes you?

how do i assure you that your reflection is not your enemy?

but that she can be your best friend, if you just let her in.

how do i persuade you that loving yourself will be the best love story you’ll ever find? how do i erase the negative self-talk that has tattooed itself on the walls of your mind.

how do i motivate you to go after your dreams?

but first, how do I even ​get​ you to start dreaming?

finally, how do i convince you to listen to me?

but more importantly, how do i convince you to start listening to your own heart?
