Author's Note: I wrote this poem because I constantly struggle with my self-worth. However over the years I have realized that I am worthy of love as are we all. I encourage you to tell someone how much you love them and to tell yourself that you are worthy of love. You are beautiful and amazing. So please share this and I hope you all have a wonderful day! God Bless!!!
Clean- 11/12/2017
I am clean
As clean as the day I was brought into this world
A fresh slate
A snowflake
A cold rain
Anything but ruined,
Or at least that’s what they tell me.
But how can I believe them?
How am I worthy?
I cannot even begin to imagine how
From my view I am dripping in blood
Covered in sin
Saturated to the point of nothingness
So, tell me how in the world can I be clean?
Yet by everyone else I am told of all my accomplishments
My goals
My wisdom
My peace
I am a warrior
A scholar
A musician
An artist
An idealist
And so much more
I desperately want to think this is all true,
But is it?
The world doesn’t think so
The odds are stacked against me,
Or at least that’s what they say
But if I’m not clean then what do I have to lose?
Nothing, I take the risk
I put everything I have into all that I do
I write books
I give speeches
I dream
I am loved
The world never hated me
They loved me all along
It wasn’t the world that thought I wasn’t clean
It was me
But I don’t need anyone to tell me that I’m not clean
No one but me
