Self Love

A poem

Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash

I have
what I have
I am happy & content

I’ve lost
what I’ve lost
I am still happy & content

I no longer need to carry
unnecessary burden & hurt around ungracefully
everything once upon a time hurt
but now
everything has healed

the greatest tragedy is being told,
being convinced
we cannot be healed

Learning to love yourself & heal
is how we teach others to love us
beauty & love is deep-rooted
you can see it everywhere
All you need is to look from the eyes of your soul!
