Emancipating mental convictions
Of the need to be devoted to another
In order to breathe
I am the reason my heart beats
Because my breaths are of me
My soul thrives beautifully
Exists comfortably in this being
Therefore, I unlearn what I used to hold so dear
And claim my responsibility to be at ease
To allow affection a place within my frame
To convey to my soul a sense of worthiness again
To meditate daily on the beauty that is my reflection
To offer kind words and a gentle touch
A love like no other, from no other first
To never again place what I offer to myself on a tier below
In order to make space for someone else to grow
Owning my duty to remain faithful
Above all, to yours truly
To step away from any presence
That drains me of even an ounce of desire
To remain authentically and honorably
Dedicated to myself ‘til the day I expire
