a love letter to self.

i think it's okay to say
that im in love with myself
and make it clear to everyone else
that i will give me flowers
before giving another the chance to.

sure some people
may be sleeping
on my gifts, abilities,
and triumphs
but i'll never have my eyes shut
because i know how hard it was
to do the things i've only dreamed of
only written,
only manifested,
no one else could get it
unless they
do it too.

i don't stop and hug myself
as much as i should
im creating the world
i imagined first
so sure, i am SO proud.
i scream it loud
to all the earth and the sky
thank you to the god and goddess
and you both know why.

i think of me
when i was younger
and how she would adore
the way i am now
and she would ask HOW
and no it wasn't easy
but i'd give everything up
to be me.

i swear I'd give everything up
just to be me
all over again.
