Do not be afraid

Do not be afraid of
Loving yourself ,
Speaking out .

Don't be afraid
Of showing
Your work to the world .
Don't be afraid of showing
Your talents ,
Because of the fear of criticism .

People criticise ,
It's human nature .
We all do
In some form or other .

Do not doubt yourself ,
Your worth is more than
Jewels , money and the world .
Don't let anyone tell you what
You're capable of , or what
Your worth of .

Your worth is more than
Those petty , stupid ,harsh
Words people say .

Your worth cannot be
Defined .

Your strengths ,
Your capabilities
Your everything cannot
Be hanged on to what people say .

You're much more than a 2 penny sentence.

Your body ,
Your mind ,
Your nature is made of
Parts of earth .

Fire , air , water , land
You're a mixture of everything
Beautiful.

Don't stop being kind ,
Kindness is a blue moon
These days .
It is rarely genuine.

Do not be afraid of
Loving yourself .
The things that
Make you different ,
Are the things that
Make you stronger .
They make you ,
So do not be afraid of embracing them .

You're good at singing ?
Dancing?
Writing?
Art?
Defence?
Fencing , archery, martial arts
Music
Let the world know .

Do not hide your strengths

Do not let those glances , hush-hush
Voices make you feel bad about yourself.

You're much more than
The words of people.

You have magical abilities ,
You're a warrior ,
A survivor
A healer
A magician
Do not let words affect you .

Do not change , just people are
Mocking you .
These are the some people who
Later end up nowhere ;
How will they ?
They wasted all their time of
Developing
On making fun of people
Not realising
The turn of events later on .

Don't be scared of your
Broken second language,
The fact : you can speak
So many languages is wonderful.

Do not let the fear get you ,
It's the biggest weapon ever ,
It destroys you more than
Any guns , words, or swords .

Do not let people
Force you into
Doing something you don't want to!

Know your worth ,
Know your capabilities ,
Your talents ,
Your abilities
Do not give in.

You have fragments
Of nature , gods in you
Don't let people tell you otherwise.
