I'm not that keen on me
Never ever really have been
It's ingrained, deep inside
Something about me I've tried to hide
But sometimes I need to share
What I am and how I care
About what it's like feeling this
And how it brings me to my knees
God has done much caring
Showing me that I'm worth loving
Slowly it's seeping through
But it's hard to remember when I'm blue
I never expect to be
Completely happy being me
But I hope that with God's love
I'll learn that I'm good enough
Xxxxxxxx

Depression in all its guises is difficult. I do hope you find and believe you are well worth loving!
I think you've got a lot of company, in feeling this way. It isn't an easy road to go.
What a wonderful open and honest poem. I know exactly how those doubts can nag and nag.
Hmm. Self acceptance is often a friend we keep at arms length. If only we saw what others see...
and you are good enough. More than enough.
We are our own harshest critics, I think, and yet we are "wondrously made" and much loved.
You wrote from a very vulnerable place and your words have the ring of truth. Thank you for sharing on Real Toads.
I know that journey, through self-doubt to self-acceptance. Keep walking, pilgrim - you will reach it.
How honest this is..I have walked this same path and at times still take its detour.
Clever approach, to look at one's relationship with self! Well done.
I have felt this way...still do at times. I think most of us at some point in time, get off our path.
(((hugs)))
Oh...my heart hurts...you capture so well the battle...I feel it too. My heart goes out to you as confirmation that you ARE worth it. ♥
