A Self-Love Poem

Gentle and graceful moments of compassion for self, discovered through the journey of the walk we take within to heal what blocks us from our true nature...Love.

This poem was a reflection made in the midst of learning of and healing the restraints of codependency and finding worth through being, rather than people pleasing and seeking validation through external approval.

A Silent Calling from Within

I found this gift

that is all for me

but I had it wrapped so tightly

that I couldn't see

it was wrapped in false security.

This gift has been there all along

I just never knew I could feel as if I belong.

to whom I'm not sure

I had it all wrong.

This gift waited inside for me to find it one day

my hope is here now, it's come along way.

I see more clearly now than I have ever before

I now have strength to pick me up off the floor.

I no longer need anyone else's false hand

I see now I have two feet to stand.

The painful cries and the lingering lies

have helped me see through what I thought was my demise.

I now see what lies within,

My heart,

My soul,

My dearest friend.

I am learning to love me and

that is now my security.

I thought before the pain was ending me

until I began befriending me.

I hope I don't lose you again, my friend

For you are the mirror to what is real...My spirit within.

If I can't find you one day

Please whisper to feel

And I will seek balance to remember what's Real.
