Being Ignored

Posted in Healing, Self worth, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on September 30, 2014| 2 Comments »

I ask a question
and you just ignore me
moving into other topics
as if I said nothing

I share an idea
and you just ignore me
I still have worth, outside of you.asking others for feedback
as if I said nothing

I strain
I strive
Aching for you to notice me
Yearning for you to appreciate me

I want you to be proud of me
I want to feel the glow
of “doing good”

But that just isn’t happening.
And it’s not going to happen.

So I need to remember
reality check time

my worth is not determined
by your approval.

My worth is not determined
by how much you like me
by how smart you think I am
by how much I add to the conversation

It may feel a little extreme, but I realize…
You don’t have to like me.
You don’t have to think I’m smart.
You don’t have to want to hear me.

You don’t have to even see me.

I still have worth
outside of you.

Who told you
that we need long hair
lashes or nails
rosy pink cheeks
and hidden pores
to be a woman?

As a girlWho told you that you needed to shave?
I rushed to grow up
to be a woman
what I thought it was to be

sneaking eyeliner to school
cutting myself with mom’s razor
plucking, curling, crimping
scouring for the perfect shade
to be pretty

Who told me
that I needed color palates
pinks and purples
lotions and potions
creamy and pungent

to be a woman?

Who told me
that I had to shave?

No more waitingWorkshop - are you ready to Know Your Worth?
No more second guessing
No more “making sure”

No more perfectionism
No more holding back
No more being torn

It’s time.

It’s time for us to come together
to talk about how we know our worth

That
It’s not what others tell us
It’s not the things we do
It’s not what we say
It’s not what we were taught

But
it’s inside
it’s pure
it’s God-given

And it’s ours.

We are enough just as we are!
