Poems About Self Worth
Self Esteem
Author: S. Ellis
I used to think that I was not enough
But now I know that I am more than tough
I am worthy and deserving of love and respect
And I will no longer let anyone disrespect
I am enough, just as I am
And I will no longer play the martyr or the damsel in distress
I am strong and capable, and I will rise
I will no longer be held down by anyone's lies
I am valuable, and I will not be denied
I will love and accept myself, flaws and all, with pride
I am worthy of happiness and success
And I will no longer settle for less.
Self Worth And Beauty
Author: C. Table
I used to think that beauty was skin deep
But now I know that it goes much more beneath
True beauty comes from within
It's a light that shines from within
I used to put myself down and compare
But now I know that I am unique and rare
I am beautiful, just as I am
And I will no longer let anyone slam
My worth is not defined by my looks
But by the person I am and the love that I took
I am enough, and I am worthy
And I will embrace my beauty, completely.
Self Image
Author: Unknown
In the mirror I see
A reflection of my soul
Confident and free.
