Cast far in the distance from home and comfort
Attempting to find my place in this world
Having to look within for strength
I must dig deep and long
For reasons past unhealed
I am confronted with my own demons
I fear I am my worst enemy at times
Why must I be so hard on myself?
Why must I seek perfection that only exists in spirit?
I crave for true acceptance
And have been chasing this need in yearning
That seem to reveal this longing needs to be healed
I stare myself in the mirror focussing on imperfections
It suddenly dawns on me how harsh I've been
My soul so pure
So full of Love
So sensitive to all of life's beauty
I was blind to my own
I am beautiful
Why couldn't I see?
Why do I berate myself and destroy my own spirit?
The nurturing and love I seek
I can provide tenderly
The emptiness in my heart washed away with relief and hope
I look forward to loving me

Bless you all!
