My poem! How much does it mean to me? Why does it mean to me?

I wrote a poem called “Dear Present Me.” It goes like this. “Dear Present Me”. By: Brandee Darden. 

Dear Present me, 

You are doing 

great! You’re strong, 

beautiful, smart, 

and a fighter! 

You don’t give up and you don’t 

need a man 

to make you happy! 

You can get through 

anything that you 

put your mind 

to it! Keep 

on fighting! 

-Love, 

Brandee D. I love this poem because I know that I am fighter and I know that I will never give up so easily. This poem means so much to me! What I said about myself is so true! I know that I am a fighter! I fight for what I believe in and I don’t easily give up! I keep fighting and I love myself for who I am! I don’t need a man to keep me happy! I can get through anything if I can put my mind to it!! The reason why this poem means a lot to me because I wrote it! What I wrote about me is so true! I am a fighter and I fight for what I believe in. Yes, I cry but at least I try my hardest to fight through what I believe in!!! 

When I was writing this poem, what was going through my mind? Why was that thing going through my mind?

When I was writing this poem, what was going through my mind? What was going through my mind was I wanted a poem about how strong I am and I don’t need a man to make me happy! I am literally happy on my own! I wanted to remind not only myself but other people that they are strong as well! I want people to know that you can get through anything that you put your mind to it! You have to keep fighting through the hard times because if you let the hard times beat you down, you are going to get defeated and you want to give up! Never give up because everyone is strong enough! Why was that thing going through my mind? The reason why it was going through my mind because I want to remind people you are strong enough and you got this! You don’t need to let whatever is bothering you let you down! You are strong and you got this! Don’t let anyone or anything bring you down! Everyone is strong! Everyone is beautiful or handsome in their own way! Don’t let anyone tell you differently!!! 

What is this poem about? Why did I write this poem about?

This poem is about my present day self! This poem is a reminder that I am doing a good job and I am trying so hard to not give up and keep fighting!! When you go through so much stuff everyday and all you want to do is give up but I have to keep fighting because everyone around me wants to keep fighting! I know that I don’t need a man to make me happy! I feel completely happy on my own and I will be happy on my own until I get a man who will make me happy in the future but for right now, I will make myself happy in the meantime!! I know that I’m strong and I know that I am beautiful! I definitely know that I am a fighter because I fight for what I believe in everyday! I fight my own battles and I fight to get to the top!! I’m proud of myself for getting through what I have went through in my past! I am so proud of myself for not giving up! I am so proud of myself for fighting because I am a fighter and I will never give up!!! Why did I write this poem about? The reason why I wrote this poem about is because this poem is to remind everyone about the present me and who I am today! The person who I am today is a fighter! I know that I don’t need a man to make me happy but I know in the future that I would love to get married. Right now though, I am happy on my own! I am happy doing things on my own and fighting my own battles! I know that I am a fighter and I know that I will always be a fighter! I don’t quit! That’s not in my blood!! What is in my blood is blogging and I will continue to blog because that makes me happy! I love blogging!!! 

What is the significance of this poem? Why is this poem so significant? 

The significance of this poem is represents the person who I am today!! The person who I am today fights for what she believes in. Yes, I even fight for my own battles and that’s okay. It could be draining at times and hard on me but at the end of the day, I am trying to make myself happy and that’s all that matters! Me making myself happy matters to me! In order to live a good life, I need to be happy but at times, it is so hard to be happy especially when life can get hard at times but I need to remind myself that life goes on and that I don’t need to give up!! I need to live life to the fullest!!! I need to make myself happy and focus on the good than the negative!!! Why is this poem so significant? The reason why this poem is so significant is because each and one of my poems hold a significance to it! Each poem of mine means a lot to me! Each poem tells a story! Like this poem that I am doing a blog post about! My poem “Dear Present Me” is about me! It is about reminding myself that I know that I am beautiful, I know that I am smart, and I definitely know that I am a fighter! When things do get rough, I tend to wanting to throw in the towel and just give up but I can’t because I have people who are supporting me and cheering me on! I can’t give up and I know that I need to keep trying my best at all times!!! 

In conclusion/ Tip of the day!

In conclusion, I know that I am a fighter! I know that I can’t give up because there is people who are counting on me and supporting me no matter what! I need to love myself for who I am and for who I was! I need to learn how to leave my past in the past. I need to keep fighting for what I believe in and make sure that I am happy! My happiness and everyone else’s happiness matters to me! I need to be happy for not only myself but for everyone else as well! I don’t need to hide what I am feeling because hiding from what you are feeling is the worst thing that you can do! Acting like you are okay is the worst thing ever!! If you are hiding something, tell someone! Tell someone that you aren’t okay and that you need someone to talk to! Don’t hide your feelings! If you need to cry about it, cry about it! Let your tears flow!! Don’t stop them from flowing!! My tip of the day is be the person that you are today! Be your present self! Be proud of who you are because being who are as a person is amazing! It doesn’t matter who you are in the past! Just be who you are in the present! Leave the old you in the past! Live in the present and don’t give up!!!

“Don’t cry over 
The past, it’s gone. 
Don’t Stress about 
The future, it hasn’t arrived.
Live in the present 
And make it beautiful.” 
-Unknown! I love this quote because don’t cry what happened in the past! It’s in the past! Move on from it! Don’t even stress or worry about the future because it hasn’t happened yet!! Live in the present and make it beautiful! Try to make yourself happy!!! 

“You have to 
Present yourself.
You have to know 
How to talk
About your 
Vision, your 
Focus, and what 
You believe in”.
-Anna Wintour. I love this quote because you have to show people who you really are! You have to show them what is your focus on the present and you have to show them that you can do it! Show them what you believe in!! Show them that you can do it!! Present yourself who you really are!! 

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow
is a mystery, today is a gift of 
God, which is why we call it 
the present.”
-Bil Keane. I love this quote because yesterday was history and it is in the past! You will never know what tomorrow could bring us!! Today is a gift of God because you woke up to another day and that is a miracle! You never know what tomorrow could bring you and yesterday is the past and you should forget about it!!
