My Affirmation

By Ryan Lam

These are my affirmations

I will not forget them any time soon

They are my inspirations

They let me flower and bloom.

My life has purpose, 

 Even if I don’t know what it is

It may be hidden beneath the surface

Yet the purpose still exists

My presence is meaningful to others

Those around me gain happiness and joy

I’m useful to my sisters and brothers

There is no need to be coy

I am allowed safety and protection

I am worthy of love and affection

I deserve credit for all that I offer

My life is a story, and I’m its author
