 Love begins with ourselves, and learning to love ourselves can have a profound impact on our lives. This piece explores the importance of self-love, and how it can influence our relationships with others.

 

POEM

 

The power of self-love is a wondrous thing,

It brings strength to our hearts and peace within.

When we love ourselves, we open a door,

To a world full of light and so much more.

We stop looking to others for validation,

And trust that we are enough, a revelation.

Our imperfections become beautiful quirks,

Our flaws become badges of honor, no longer hurts.

Self-love is a journey, a path we must take,

It's not always easy, but the reward is great.

We shed the layers of doubt and fear,

And step into our power, our true selves clear.

We love ourselves fiercely, without any shame,

Embracing our unique beauty, we rise from the pain.

With every step we take, we grow stronger still,

Our hearts full of love, our spirits never ill.

So embrace the power of self-love today,

Let it guide you on your journey, light the way.

For when you love yourself, you can conquer all,

And in the end, you'll stand tall, never to fall.
