Today,
I rolled off my bed corner,
With a big yawn.
I hopped down from bed,
Slid on my flip flops,
And made my way to the bathroom sink.

On my way to the bathroom,
I stopped by my sound theatre,
Plugging in some music on,
From my auxiliary cord;
A Bob Marley mixtape.

Jamming up to musically melodies busting from my speakers,
I moved my feet,
Throwing my head from side to side,
In cadence to the tempo of the flow.
My lips moved too,
And my vocals voiced in accordance to the lyrics playing.
Twisting, Turning, head bumping.
Jumping my feet side to side,
Sweating.
Panting from dancing,

I finally made my way to the bathroom,
With my head still bumping to the music still playing in the background.
Stumbling upon the mirror in my bathroom walls,
I caught myself smiling.
For first time, it felt genuine.
I was genuinely happy.
Staring hard at my reflection,
I watched my smile fade,
And a tear, drop.
Only this time, they weren't tears of depression, or sadness,
But I was finally ready to forgive myself.
To love myself the way I am supposed to.
I let the tears pour right off my face,
While my smile gently spread back on.
