Why do you love yourself? 3 months, 1 weeks ago Compliments to Myself
Jordan Taylor BradfordI love how I persevere
Through the hardest days filled with endless tears
I don’t lose to my fears
I’ve been overcoming depression for 20+ yearsI find gems to be grateful for
I feel my feelings rather than ignore
I can do hard things
I’ve done a number beforeMy poetry prowess is a gift
In general, I’m a talented writer
The way I excel at academia
Despite my mental health struggles, I am definitely a fighterI share my emotions freely
The act is freeing
I connect with others showing them they’re not alone
I’m open and honest
My hardships I ownI maintain loving friendships
With the sweetest humans
I consistently fight my winter blues demonsI find delight in existing
And search for joy throughout my day
I am lovable
I am beautiful
I am going to be okayI love that I am hilarious
and have an amazing heart
I am proud of my intelligence
and my passion to create artVoting is open!

I really love your use of words. This poem has such a nice flow to it and is very easy to connect with. I love the lines “I am lovable
I am beautiful
I am going to be okay”
You reminded me that I’m to be okay too, and it’s very powerful to be able to tell a story in a way that makes people feel your feelings with you.
