Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Flower Thoughts

Someone planted a thought
deep inside your mind
they watered and tended it
and it was so unkind

Instead of the flower thoughts
“I’m worth it”, “I am enough”
The weed thoughts grew
“I can’t do it”, “It’s too tough”

Other people tended them
until you started doing it too
They grew so big
that they consumed you

You can escape them
your flower thoughts are still there
like you, they need love
some time and some care

Tend your flower thoughts
water them every day
bit by bit, you’ll escape the weeds
and you will be okay
