You Can’t – A Poem on Embracing Self-Worth Beyond Comparison

You can’t tell a mountain it is high enough

You can’t tell a lake it is deep enough

You can’t tell a car it is fast enough

You can’t tell the sun how incredible it is

You can’t tell a fire that it’s warmth and beauty is perfect

I feel like the mountain, never high enough

I feel like the lake, never deep enough

I feel like the car, never fast enough

I feel like the sun, never incredible enough

I feel like the fire, never warm or beautiful enough

Except, the mountain doesn’t know it is not high enough

The lake doesn’t know it isn’t deep enough

The car doesn’t know it is not fast enough

The sun doesn’t know it’s not incredible

The fire doesn’t know that it’s warmth and beauty is not perfection

How amazing it must be to be an object of affection without knowing

How amazing it must be to be an object of faults without sorrow

How amazing it must be to be an object that never has to question it’s worth

The mountain, lake, car, sun and fire only exist

The mountain does not compare it’s height to other mountains

The lake does not compare it’s depth to other lakes

The car does not compare it’s speed with other cars

The sun has no comparison to it’s powers

The fire does not compare it’s warmth and beauty with other fires

When there are no comparisons, anything that you are is enough
