Self Love

In the Studio / Meka Carter

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
