STEEMGIGS: TIL CHALLENGE > I am Beautiful( POEM 29)

Today I learned something. Being a disabled person brings forth a lot of insecurities and inferiority complex. I know, because I am a disabled person. It took me a long time to accept my situation. As I go through my life, I realized that all happens for a great reason. Believing that I am a failure was changed to believing that my case is a gift. I am still discerning for what the universe has prepared for me and waiting for my purpose to unravel. Nevertheless, after all the hardships, I have confidence that there is better life waiting for me. To change my view of life, I started with my outlook on myself and I write it in a poem.

The Beautiful Me

I am beautiful
God didn't make a mistake for creating me
together with my edge and my flaws
He has a great purpose for making me exist
I was created in His image and likeness
I am here as His wish

I am beautiful
Even if to others I am a loser
Like them, I have my dreams, my views, my free will
I have my morals, standards, beliefs
Though I don't have a fabulous life like them
I have my role to which I perform well

I am beautiful
to others I am equal
I am unique
I have to be me
No one can play my role best but me
and the puzzle of life cannot be complete without my originality

I am beautiful
though I am weak and commit mistakes
I have the capacity to pick the broken pieces of myself
Mend the pain and move on
In every fall I become better
In every rising up I am stronger

I am beautiful
I have accepted myself
I have accepted my fate
I am beautiful and I claim it
not to boast around but to be at peace
to myself, I am at ease

I am a beautiful creation
You too are a beautiful creation
We are beautiful creations
It is not what others say about you
It is how you believe in yourself
so believe you re beautiful my friend

I made this poem to remind myself that, that disabled person I see in the mirror with a deformed body is no less than any creature of this world. Even if I am only 4feet, I am taller to other people in different ways. I may be physically weak but I have the capacity to learn.

I hope you can see the positive message of this poem. God bless.
