Down chiseled mountain cheek, embrace the torrents of tears

Undammed by invisible monsters and irrational fears

Upon panicked waking during the witching hour

Sink back into the River Phlegethon, never cower

I will accept your fears

When the truths of existence thunder within the mind

Always advise to oneself to never be less than kind

And when self-loathing blackens kindled soul like a fire

Despite the damage, trudge on through the muck and the mire

I will accept your imperfections

Flaws are not price tags on a glittering soul

However, embrace them; they make you whole

You’re worth it in this life that’s both shiny and trouble-fraught

You’re priceless because you’re the only self I’ve got

I will always love you Unconditionally

My relationship with myself is not precisely healthy

But if Hope could be quantified, then I am wealthy

I strive to accept myself and hold close the truths of my own

So during the dark Winters of my life, I know that I am not alone

I will always have faith in my promise to Love Myself
