“Welcome to Self-Love Island”

Isolating herself from the influence of others
So she’s able to deeply discover
Who she truly is at her core
No inspiration from lover nor friend
Just a solo mission
Exploring deep within
The things she loves
The things she adores
Her dents and cracks
Her scars and sores
Learning to listen
From a space of understanding
Flying away from old ways
Praying for a safe landing
Remove negativity
Cleanse her soul
Accepting all parts of her
Young and old
Warm and cold
Admitting where she’s hurt others
Observing how she’s hurt herself
Accepting things not on her path
And leaving it for someone else
If she could stand in the ocean
Stop fighting the waves
She would float naturally
To where she’s supposed to be today
Learning to ride the tide
Without wondering why
Accepting the sun as well as the stars
