I know what you're thinking;

Why do I have so many flaws?

Trust me, I know the feeling,

But now I see,

They were never flaws,

Just little things about me,

That make me who I am.

I'm me,

And that is okay,

And you are you,

And that's fine too,

Don't think so low on yourself

****

It's okay,

You'll be fine.

Despite these hard times,

I have hope for you.

If I myself,

Can make it out alive,

Then you can to,

We'll be alright.

So hush now,

Don't cry,

Please,

Don't hurt yourself tonight.

Come tomorrow,

You and I,

We'll be fine.

Please,

Take care of yourself tonight.

You're beautiful,

You're amazing,

You're the nicest one I've known,

And most importantly of all,

You are you,

Which makes you incredible too.

You and me,

We will pull through.

Despite hard times,

We're going through.

Remember this,

And soon you'll see,

You are you.

And that makes you beautiful.

Every time,

I have to speak,

I just can't do it.

Not the right way.

I'm always so afraid,

Not of talking,

But of words.

Why?

You may ask,

Well,

Let me tell you.

Words are the most powerful thing,

Oh, what they can do.

Save a life,

Or end it,

Only you can choose.

So why am I afraid of words?

Not because of what is said to me,

But instead what I say to others,

Words are such a powerful tool,

That some people just abuse.

Some words should not be spoken,

But sometimes,

They are anyways.

It may not be,

Your true intention,

But words will hurt people,

Push them down.

Why don't I talk much?

Everybody asks me.

Because I fear the words that I may speak,

For what if I say the wrong ones?

Words are such powerful things,

And I don't think we should have them.

They are much worse,

Than violence,

Or self hurt.

They drive people insane,

They kill far too many.

So before you go and say that,

Perhaps you'll think again?

I know that I will,

Always.

Watching what I say.

For if I hurt another,

I don't even know what to say.

Please,

Next time,

Even if you think it's only funny,

Please think about the words you say,

Or they could hurt another.

These are a few poems from my old poems book that were more positive, since my old poems were usually a lot of sad things. I'm going through it because I'm going to delete it, and I thought maybe I'd save a couple of the happier ones.

I hope you like them, although they aren't that good...
