IN CONVERSATION WITH INNER SELF
A bit under the weather, I am trying To seek the cloud with a silver lining I see rough diamonds all around Not a dime of peace to be found Distressed but determined I bide my time Yearning for a singular soul to chime “You may be flawed but that’s alright Coz you are enough in your own right Loving yourself doesn’t make you vain In dire times, it’s what keeps you sane You gaze at your reflection in dismay If only souls could be put on display If you could admire your beautiful brain Your self-view would be devoid of disdain You’re not a follower, so don’t get in line Your reality becomes whatever you define You don’t need the bar lowered to compete You, my dear, are a force to reckon with So be unafraid to make waves and rock the boat Coz you are destined to prevail and stay afloat Never bend your head. Hold it high Look the world straight in the eye And when the decisive moment is nigh You’ll rise up and soar through the sky”
