gracecatan submitted a contest entry to Write a letter telling the world about what makes you strong 1 years, 1 months ago
honey, be bold
i am brave
every time i climb to the top of a tree
not because the branches could give out under me
but because i am finding the way that i grieve
in a place i feel safe enough to pursue peacei am strong
every time i put my skates on
not because i could fall if my balance is off
it’s ’cause i could have stayed broken-hearted
but instead i’ve found silly little shoes to make art withi am gorgeous
not because my hair’s shiny or my makeup looks good,
but because i’ve decided that i am my audience
no more looking for pointers on my face’s performance
i do what i love and i let what i choose restore usi am precious
while the people i meet are inspired by my energy
it also matters that i know i deserve to be
without anyone else profitting of my self
no one getting that chance but mei am loved
though the family i chose is a gift that i hold
in my heart, it’s the version of me who was thirteen years old
whose soul i behold
as i yell out the stories, the mantras, the truths that i wish was told
and i make her feel loved, hold her hand, whisper “honey, be bold”Voting is closed

Grace! This is a wonderful poem. And I absolutely LOVE the message. Strength comes from having the courage and confidence to live life on your terms and measure your success with your own set of rules. With your mindset, life will take you far. Keep being bold. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being a part of The Unsealed family. <3 Lauren

Grace, your poem is so amazing! your bold for sharing your story, your bold for opening your heart up to The Unsealed and sharing the deepest parts of your thoughts. You may have wished that you were bold then but I think within you developed yourself to be bold now.
