With every saturated step
I want my feet sinking in purpose
My heart-beat thumping in joy
and my thought-life flowing with peace
I no longer look to be pleased
I do not feel entitled
I no longer search for someone to make me happy
No one owes me anything
I owe myself respect and goodness
Therefore
Today I am love
I am not a frog on a log
waiting to be discovered by a princess
My charm, laughter, kindness and smile
is not waiting on a kiss to be unlock
Today in light of Love
My spirit is free
With breath in this body
I aim to be all I was created to be
No people pleasing tragedy
Today I will pay me
Cause only I can be me
poetically and uniquely
offering myself generosity…
Now
Treat yourself…the way
you think someone should treat you
and watch how lovely you will become!
Oh this is just wonderful!!! I love the line “No more people pleasing tragedy.” What a stellar reminder to us all! The eloquent way your words came together created a magical reading experience!!! Keep shining, dear friend! I always look forward to your work!!! 🖤🤗✨

Michele♥️, Today I am glad to be read by you! I am glad the poem came off with contentment. Too many times we want others to accept us and we have not accepted ourselves. So, I appreciate you picking up on that🙏♥️ Stay safe, creative and beautiful😍
