Poem: Backwards Affirmation

This is me.
The bumbling stumbling me.
I want to hate myself but can’t.
I want to love myself but won’t.
I will not hide the truth or make excuses for my weakness because this IS me.
I haven’t mastered that part of me yet and maybe never will.
The worst of me is superficial, transient.
I can only control what I think of me.
Nobody’s pity, mockery or jumpstart to bring me higher will ever change me.
I run my own race.
This is me.
I’d change my weakness if I could.
Until then, this is me.
And, I won’t stop trying to be better.
I’ll never give up on myself.
I’ll never ever believe I’m useless.
I am worthy of greatness.
