The first rule of life and self
Is to preserve self
Protect and care for self
Love and respect of self
Think highly of
And to maintain self
To hone as much positivity
About your person
With good vibes all around
The mind is sound
And feeling more ups than downs
More smiles than frowns
Feeling strong as opposed to weak
And being very healthy
From the inside out
Casting self doubt
And exiting any shadows
In order to bask in the light
Less wrong and more right
Not having or living in fear
And be the very person
As you appear
No reservations when it comes to self
And certainly not trying to be
Anyone else
But just the full acceptance
Of what makes up you
From each fiber to the core
Embracing the simple
As less can be more
Fighting for self
Yet humbling yourself
At the same time
And doing what's needed
To truly survive
Fire in the eyes
And even more alive inside
Less aggravation
No stagnation
Forego desperation
More escapes and vacations
Able to hold your own
In many situations
With much focus and dedication
No self sabotage
But rather congratulations
More success than tribulations
Much strength and power
And allowing for further
Elevation
Upon levels than can far surpass
But also move well beyond
Your wildest dreams and imagination
As this and so much more
Encompasses your self preservation
