#9 Little Joys

I will embrace them now
The sweet little
joys I've denied myself

Stop by the ice cream store
visit my favorite seashore

I can go alone
It's great to
be alone
give myself
some time
to heal

and nothing heals like
old favourites
A book I loved as a child
a fairy that blessed me
when my fever had me choked

I'm alone yes
no one to talk to
but I'm enough
just as I am
I stop depending on
others
their presence no longer can decide my joy
or sadness
My own best friend
partner in crime
there's no such person anymore
is there
who truly cares about me
from the depths of their soul
Love me like I love

It's okay.
I smile
laugh have fun
by myself
I can and I will
I will love myself some more
and even more
fall in love with all my flaws
but also discover my merits
I will make my days
count

Enough of the sorrows
and within
I will bring back joy
and will keep
multiplying the same
I will work for it

I know I should
I will hold on to myselt
and the jou within me.
