I dare you,
To accept who you are,
To know your worth,
And feel sympathy for those for can’t see it.
I dare you,
To take time out to care for yourself,
To relax and unwind,
To let things go,
To eat well,
To shower,
To brush your teeth,
I dare you,
To accept that some days these feel like impossible tasks.
And to celebrate the smallest of wins.
I dare you
To stand up for yourself,
To fight for what you believe in,
And to know your voices matter even when it shakes.
I dare you,
To know if you can’t speak up,
We still see you.
We still know.
I dare you,
To just be,
Just be you,
In all your glory.
And to know that you are enough.
I dare you.
I dare me.
