Do not judge yourself on what you have not done –
do not judge yourself on what you have not become.
Do not judge yourself in the shadows of your mind,
before you sleep at night – with those cringing thoughts of self-doubt-
that no one else but you, has defined.
Picking up the pieces of the opinions of others,
and allowed it to allow you to blame your brother, your sister, your father or your mother.
You do not need the validation of anyone,
clear out those thoughts –
and
shred all that must be undone.
