PERHAPS
Michelle Anoba
Perhaps you’ll learn to love yourself
And appreciate the little things about you.
Perhaps you’ll accept all the scars and flaws that you have,
Yes, it’s not easy but that’s all you have to do.
They tell you about the others
Who are so much better than you,
And perhaps you’ve heard it so many times
That you start to believe it’s true.
Perhaps you’ll begin to look on the brighter side,
And even learn to value the things you do
You need to cherish those beautiful moments
And realize all your worries will fade away too.
Perhaps you’ll see the world in a different lens,
In all its chaos and full of unsure
Perhaps someday you’ll see that life is something,
To be enjoyed and not just to endure.
