How?

A new poem! a day after the previous one, I spoil myself! It has been a long time since I've written poetry, but it has previously been an outlet for communicating negative feelings and thus it is

They say

Tell yourself you are enough

That will make it true

Tell yourself you are good

That will make it true

Tell yourself you are not an appalling failure

That will make it true

But how?

When the world is telling you,

You are not enough

You do not deserve more

You are not good

You have failed

How can the light replace the dark?

When the shadows creep so fast

How can hope replace despair?

When the road goes nowhere

How can one thought overpower the years

The continuation

The bombardment

The pressure from all sides

Saying you are inadequate

Genuine question

How to you survive this flood?

How do you keep your head above the water?

With just one thought for buoyancy

You are enough

As true as it might be

How does this one little thought survive.
