,, They will say that you are old
Failing to realise
That age is a sign of wisdom, experience and maturity
They will say that you are past your prime
Failing to realise
That your physical appearance
Is only a small aspect of your identity
And you have not yet reached your full potential
And discovered all that you may do and be
They will say that you are different
Failing to realise
That change is the only constant of life
And you are continually growing, evolving and expanding
They will say that you are weird or quirky
Failing to realise
That being an authentic individual
Who doesn’t conform
Is a sign of strength
And something to take pride in
Rather than feel ashamed of
They will say that you are ugly
Failing to realise
That accepting your flaws and embracing your imperfections
Is a sign of strength and courage
In a fake and airbrushed world filled with artificiality
They will say that your work lacks value
Failing to realise
That value is subjective
And what one person finds worthless
Another person finds meaningful and inspiring
And they will say that you are unsuccessful
Failing to realise
That success is something
That means something different to everyone.
They will say that you are many things
Over the course of your life
But it is you who holds the power
To choose which words will define you. ''
