Myself

The more time I spend alone with myself.
I realize so very much about my identity.
I don't need or want a man to make me feel better about myself.
Being alone isn't as scary as I thought, It actually has delivered serenity.
Ive been so insecure and unable to relate with myself.
Finding this new confidence has shown up in every aspect of my being.
Loving me more than I love anyone else, really loving myself...
Its allowing me to really understand and has me truly seeing.
That I used to put men before myself.
now I'm not allowing anyone to take advantage of me.
This is my new vision for myself.
This new way of living is the only way it can be.
I'm me and finally able to free myself.
From all judgement and self doubt.
I respect love and admire myself.
I really figured me out and what life is all about...
