Self Esteem Therapy - When All Seems Black Poem by Stephen Katona

Yes, you are beautiful, clever and kind. All nice values are within you. There is no need to be depressed. You can gain good mental and physical health. Self esteem is awakened. A nice poem is very interestingly penned with expression of beauty....10

'Black' should NOT be viewed as a 'negative' adjective! Maybe I'll return in ANOTHER 3 years? ? : ) bri

And NOW, another 3 years later, & after reading my previous comments, it seems to me, that my 2022 comment was not 'fair'/true about Stephen's words!

Three years later, after my last comment, I find the poem unrealistic and actually contradictory: after saying to 'ignore' what you lack, S K goes on to suggest one do the opposite it seems. ; ( bri

for anorexia i'd suggest: I'm Not fat! I'm Oh so fine! ! I'm Trim enough! ! ! I'll Feed myself to be healthy! I'll Always eat enough each day! ! I'll Talk to my therapist if I need to! ! ! Granted, this mantra is a trick, and it has its limitations, but it is WORTH TRYING! ! ! good show. to MyPoemList. bri (: perhaps using 'clouded' or 'hopeless' would please 'black people' more. some are touchy, i'm sure, about making black seem undesirable.

Nice poem....Like the rhythm in the words.... Good thought and choice of words -f life seems BLACK, Ignore what you lack. When you want to scream, Boost your self-esteem. One hundred times a day, Look at yourself and say: I am Beautiful, I am Loved, I am Awesome, I am Clever, I am Kind.....
