Sometimes, our hardest battles happen within ourselves. Negative thoughts and self-doubt can make us question our worth. They can also make it harder to recognise the love around us.
Beyond the Noise is a heartfelt poem about self-worth, empathy and feeling loved. It encourages us to look beyond the inner voices that tell us otherwise.
Even when life feels overwhelming, remember that you are valued. You are loved, and you don’t have to face everything alone.
Life is like a roller coaster ride,
Where emotions fluctuate like the tide.
The journey you travel is never straight nor clear,
Your heart may be entangled with doubt and fear.
But this doesn’t define who you are,
It’s the chaotic noise trying to tear you apart.
Enforcing negativity, diminishing your self-esteem,
Leaving you feeling isolated and pulling at the seams.
Seams of “you’re not good enough, you’re not loved”,
“You’re alone, and no one understands.”
The truth is, the enemy is seeking to put you down,
Because you are a blessing, placed upon this earth.
You are more than capable of breaking free,
Just believe in who you are, for yourself, not me.
You are more than capable of conquering those battles,
Heal from what’s stolen your peace, so you can release those shackles.
I may not have walked your path,
But I’ve seen the spark dimming, the cracks in your laugh.
I’ve heard how pain and sadness surround you,
How the passion is subsiding in everything you do.
But I want you to know, even though the world is unkind,
Don’t be conformed by its ways; look after your mind.
Don’t let frustration and anger become your friend,
For that relationship can be difficult to mend.
I hope you hear, how much your family loves you,
How they root for you, and take pride in how you keep pushing through.
I hope you see the care, the belief and the genuineness,
Because you mean the world to them, more than you could ever guess.
So keep your head high and remember you are here for a reason,
You will be moulded, shaped and refined in each season.
You don’t have to be like everyone else, just be you,
For your heart is what makes you amazing and true.
