PLEASE STOP by Becky Hemsley 2024

"PLEASE STOP"
by Becky Hemsley 2024

Please stop saying sorry…

For the way your hair looks when you take off your hat

For the way your body looks in that outfit

And for the way you use your hands a lot when you talk

Stop apologising…

For the way your teeth show when you smile

And for the noise you make when you laugh

Stop saying sorry…

For not wearing make-up today

For your chipped nail polish

For wearing your favourite sweater again

Stop apologising for things that, to others,

are beautiful and endearing and charming.

Stop making them doubt something when they know it to be true; because they see it and hear it and feel it.

Please stop hating on the things they love most about you and stop undermining their opinion of you.

Stop making them second guess your beauty.

But most of all…

Please stop second guessing it yourself.
