Need Help With My Story. A Poem


He compliments me
It is ever so flattering.
I tell him thanks.
I tell him I appreciate it.
But inside my head
There is a short circuit
For what he says
While the truth
Is hard for me to believe
To use an TV phrase
It does not compute.

How can reality
Not jive with the inner me?
How can I get to a place
Or a point
To attain higher self esteem?
Just imagine the number
Done on me in the past
To make me such
A self devalued mess.

I could tell you
Some instances
But I don't want to
Bring you down
I would rather bring
Smiles than frowns.
I would rather you laugh
Than wince at my awkwardness.

So I will hone my story
Of many rejections
Of many reasons
That have caused
Such consternation
That has prompted
Me not to accept
What is actual
What is real
And now happening.
That I have many positive traits
That I have much to offer
A lover and companion.

A story that begs
For a happier ending
One in which I might
a helping hand
In it's writing.

Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely

There are always happier endings....They are just stories that haven't ended yet... And the key is to have the patience to wait...When is that ending ? When you finally smile and rejection is a word from the past . . .
I understand that you have much to offer.... I hope you find someone who see that as well !

I believe self esteem or self worth is one of those things that can't be taken from you. Unless you let it go, or let them take it.

You have qualities, focus on those. And try to ignore the nagging that speak otherwise.

A muse
Is what
You need
But
Just
Know
He will
Make
Your heart
Bleed

Could be good
Or could be bad
But
You will
Feel
What you
Are looking for -

Alive Again💕
