Inside to Outside

Nyla Lennon

 

 

Don't get mad at your eyes for crying get mad at your tears for falling.

Don't get angry at who hurt your feelings get angry at your feelings for reacting.

Don't feel as if you're worthless when you know you're trying.

Don't fall for stupid tricks an old timer once said "stupid is as stupid does" and you’re not stupid.

Don't cry because you were called ugly but have tears of joy because they are oblivious to your beauty.

Don’t forget people are people and they say what they want. I want you to never forget that.

Don’t forget you are strong and you stand tall I want you to make sure everyone sees that.

If you just are there like a rock and let people throw you around you will never be anything but a rock.

What doesn’t kill you makes you who you are.

Don’t forget you are Bold, Beautiful and Proud like a lioness.

Don’t let yourself be compared to gum on a concrete because you more than that.

Your body is a temple.

Feelings come from the inside so don’t hurt the out improve the in because everything has to come in to go out.
