You hate yourself today

You can't shut out those those thoughts

I've been in that place

Believe me, they're just thoughts

I can't tell you to stop now

I can't decide your fate

Why do you allow this, 

Submit to all their hate?

Those monsters say to give in

You don't seem to disagree

Think about your future

Think of who you'll be

You are a beautiful person

Look on your past and smile

Aren't you glad you fought them

And stayed with us a while?

It seems that they mean nothing

They didn't all along

I'm happy you ignored it

I'm proud you stayed so strong

You are a better person

You don't believe those thoughts

They're gone without a trace

Because you know that they're just thoughts

You love yourself today

And for days and years to come

Remember to help the others

You aren't the only one


The author's comments:

This piece is a motivational piece, mostly about suicidal thoughts and turning them into hope. It can also seen as thoughts about self doubt and failure. Much like all of my other writings, this poem highlights that we as humans are so much more alike than we are different, and that everyone has dark days, and others, darker. However, it aims to promote confidence in anyone that feels as if they've hit rock bottom, or anyone that knows they have before and still achieved a high with time.
