If I'm being honest

If I'm being honest...
Sometimes I feel worthless.
Sometimes I feel like I'm going to fail.
Sometimes I feel like there is no point.
Sometimes I just want to give up.
Sometimes I just forget who I am and what I'm doing and why.

but I am someone important.
I am beautiful
I am kind
I am smart
I am valuable

If I'm being honest...
Sometimes I ask why I've even picked my career.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't even here.
Sometimes I feel as though I'll never go anywhere.
Sometimes I feel as though I'm just a shadow and I disappear.
Sometimes I feel like a burden.

but I am not a burden.
I am here because I have a different perspective.
I am here because despite the struggles, I am persevering.
I am here because I have insight, hope, and life.
I am here because I'm winning this fight.

If I'm being honest...
I feel the fear
but I will do it anyways
