Love Thyself

I’ve been given a gift The ultimate gift Correction One of the ultimate gifts A way to undo A way to redo A way to rewrite A way to reject spite A way to free myself From suffocation Mediocrity Unfulfillment Disillusionment Fear And it was simple Far simpler than imagined I found who was to blame Who was the tormentor But it was the same reflection As the protector It was always me Me as my worst enemy Me as my best friend So the choice was made The choice to undo the damage To love First and foremost Myself
