Dear Anonymous

I wrote this poem for anyone who is feeling down and needs words of encouragement.  Too many people don’t realize how valued they are.  In a world where greatness is measured by material standards, I want them to know that beauty comes from the inside, not from without.

I just want you to know

That you are beautiful

Don’t ever change because of someone else

You don’t need to impress others

You are you, and that is enough

Nobody is perfect, so why do you have to be?

Mistakes are part of the learning process

People care about you

You have potential for greatness

Boldness is powerful

Quiet is revolutionary

When you’re tired of doing things wrong,

Step back and see what you’ve accomplished for good

You may be surprised by what you find

Your life is not an accident

You are wonderful

Those who say you are nothing

Are absolutely wrong

You are strong

This world knows nothing of greatness

Who you are is not who you see in your reflection

And no matter what anyone says,

You are priceless

Don’t give up
