Essence of Love

Loving Yourself

In the search for a soulmate,
you may lose yourself
whilst creating an image of perfection,
within the bubble of society.

Consumed by infatuations,
we fail to realise
the pure essence of soul,
that there's more to someone
than what meets the eye.

It's scary to let go of oneself,
strip bare naked
in this stone-cold judging world of ours,
every carefully concealed secret
revealed painstakingly in all its glory,
shinning blindingly in the limelight.

But it has to be done,
to unveil the delicate beauty
behind the featherlight strokes of imperfections within ourselves,
every bloody scar...every silent teardrop...
every torn-up memory that is buried
beneath an elaborate mask of idealism.

A true warrior
must learn to fight their own battles,
unlocking the fears you possess,
that's the key to your happiness...
and the first step to the subliminal world of romance.

Be brave,
don't underestimate how special you are,
because loving yourself for who you are
will open you up to the soulmate you've been searching for...
