You find out
I explain
You don't accept it
I can't be me

Someone told me I was amazing
That I was beautiful
That I was loved
That I was not alone
That I was not a burden
That I was enough

I’m starting to believe in that too.
Thank you.

☺️💕

I couldn’t have imagined loving myself until I found you.

It takes a journey to love, and I’m glad I’m taking this journey with you.

To everyone, it may not be easy to love the person you know the most - yourself. But you will get there.

I promise.

“To myself, I love you.”

Repeat it until you believe it.

You deserve to.

Assumptions

N
You see my brown skin
And assume I'm a ****.

You see my hijab
And assume I'm a terrorist.

You see the smile on my face
And assume I'm happy.

You hear my words
And assume I'm okay.

But I am not.

Instead I am broken.
Yet I am also strong.

I am dark and rule-following.
I am peaceful and Muslim.

You assume based on
Society's POV.

If you smile
You must be happy.

Fox, CNN, any media
Tells you I am a terrorist.
So the names I get called
And the extra security checks
Are extremely upsetting.

The murders of black folk
Is either considered appropriate
Or it's "black on black crime"
So it's not taken seriously.

Who are you gonna believe
Me or those who don't know me?
