For so long I‘ve
struggled with loving me
Many don’t
understand how that can possibly be
How can
someone who has so much love to give
Have no fear
of dying but yet be afraid to live
At some point in time I lost my way
I looked in
the mirror and turned away
Turned away
because I didn’t like what I saw
I only saw
flaw after flaw after flaw
As someone
who sows seeds and wants others to succeed
I didn’t make
priority my own wants and needs
For some
reason I didn’t sow seeds in my own garden
Instead I
let my heart grow cold and harden
My
self-esteem and self-worth took a nose dive
My “get up
and go” left and took with it all of my drive
My drive and
determination to press on and keep going
To move
forward while revolving and growing
Then one day
I looked in that very same mirror again
Instead of
seeing the outer shell I saw the beauty within
All of the
things that held me bondage had set me free
And right
then and there began my journey to loving me
My True Essence
