Rise Above

The more you do to correct yourself:

the more attention you bring to your flaws.

 

You're the greatest critique of yourself.

If you stop judging you,

people will have to live with who you are!

 

In return you become stronger,

admired for your pride.

 

Not torn down by opinions

you make based on how

society is standardised...

 

so all benefits are erased when

self-acceptance of flaws is achieved.

You will not be torn down

because you're too strong for them...

 

and you stand above what is thought of you

because only you can make yourself rise above them.
