The thief of joy: comparison
#WritcoPoemPrompt94
Despite your accomplishments you believe your life is going nowhere, and future achievements are in jeopardy on the road to somewhere. Write a poem on it.

Dear reader,
stop being so hard on yourself.
Why do you feel as if you've accomplished nothing, because of the successes of someone else?
You've made it this far for a reason,
don't let the accolades of others stop you from shining, in your season.
Your esteem needs to be based upon who God's called you to be,
Not based upon how worthy someone perceives you to be.
Your future is bright, and you know it.
So don't be afraid to compete with the best of them, and show it.
You've heard that slow and steady wins the race,
so don't blow it.
I know you feel inadequate,
And that you are a waste,
But with consistency you'll make it past first base.
So...
Be sure to knock one clean out of the park,
And even if you don't,
Just make it home before it gets dark.
