Reach in search of self doubt
self hate
fear
anger
frustrations
and come up empty.
You have done enough
the universe is so proud of you
and all the light you’ve radiated
has fueled your loved ones
in loving you back, tenfold.
You are miraculous
a picture perfect work in progress
the stage is dress rehearsal
and you’re just getting started.
You have been magic since your birth
and when you get through
the roughest patch
you are magic, even still.
So let’s skip the dramatic clichés
exaggerated can-nots
let’s reach for everything we deserve
even if we’re scared of failing
and let’s walk on stage anyway.
This week, I’ve felt a bit of impostor syndrome and suffered the “I can’t do it” mentality. This piece has realigned me–if you’re feeling the same way, please use 44 to realign. Continue to reach and reach and reach.
Love,
ELLE

Truly amazing, very beautiful, true and uplifting. You are one in a million Elle and you’ve penned exactly how you are seen from others as well. So human with emotion that sometimes some may forget a person so talented too has fears and self doubts. You are absolutely deserving of it all. 👏👏❤

Once again, “Like a Clockwork Sunday” (sorry), the first thing I read this morning was your new poem. And this one was exactly the one I needed at just this time! (so much that I include the dread exclamation point). I won’t go into why, but I’m serious. Thanks so much. A now-happier Mark

This is some good realignment:

I felt like that a few months back and a friend who has been writing poetry for a while gave me some advice that really snapped me out of it.
Anyway great piece, you’re the real deal, you don’t need to doubt that.
