Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Be Kind to Yourself

I think you’ve had enough
of beating yourself up
It’s okay if you make
your share of mistakes

Venting your anger and pain
Having someone to assign blame
All feels good at first
But the feelings you hold are the worst

They fester inside your mind
And before long, you’ll struggle to find
any shred of happiness or light
so please, stop this fight

It may take years of effort
But try giving yourself a little comfort
Start by forgiving yourself
And always try to be kind to yourself
