Nina G Poet Free verse

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
