And here begins
another new calendar,
Yesterday just the same,
but everything new, they say.
No hurt to take today
to contemplate,
what has been,
what is,
what may be.
No hurt to take today,
to ruminate,
to declare
that this twelve months
will bring unprecedented
opportunities,
successes beyond expectation,
joys that cause hearts to sparkle,
health in abundance.
This twelve months
will bring contentment
and satisfaction
appreciation,
and celebration.
My feet are too big
Those great shoes would look like canoes.
I’m too fat
no one would hire me.
My memory sucks
I could never share my words.
I can’t.
I’m not good enough.
I’m not.
SCREAM!
Seize your power!
Seize your words!
Scream them out!
Drown out self-doubt!
You are!
You are!
You ARE!
You are worthy.
You are worth it.
You are the only you.
You are the
only
you.
We
need
you
to embrace the you
we believe in.
We believe.
We believe
in your voice:
SCREAM!
You are amazing.
You are worthy of love.
You are valuable.
You have something to offer.
What are you doing?
Don’t explain a gain.
Re-train the brain.
Retain the refrain in the brain:
ABSTAIN!
