In the tapestry of time,
Where threads are spun,
I've woven a story,
One of battles won.
Each day a canvas,
A brand new start,
With colors of courage painted from my heart.
The road to self-love is winding and long,
Yet each step taken makes me strong.
From the ashes of despair I rise anew,
With every sunrise my soul renewed.
I learn to find beauty in the smallest things,
The flutter of birds,
The song life sings,
In the laughter of friends,
In the warmth of touch,
In the simple moments that mean so,
So much.
Forgiveness isn't easy,
But it's a path I tread,
Letting go of the past,
And I'm moving ahead.
For every mistake,
For every regret,
I choose to release,
I choose to forget.
In the garden of my heart,
Flowers bloom,
Replacing the shadows,
Dispelling the gloom.
Self-love grows with each passing hour,
Nourished by kindness,
Watered by power.
The echoes of pain still whisper sometimes,
But they no longer control,
And they no longer bind.
For I found a strength deep,
Deep within,
A light that shines through the thinnest of skin.
Now,
When I see my reflection,
I don't turn away.
I stand tall,
I smile,
I proudly say,
This is who I am,
Scars and all.
I am worthy,
I am whole,
I stand tall.
Life's melody plays,
A symphony of grand,
With highs and lows,
A harmonious band.
In embracing love,
Both given and received,
I find a joy in which I truly believe.
So here's to the journey,
To the path I've walked,
To the lessons learned,
And to the battles fought,
In surviving,
I've learned not just to live,
But to thrive,
And to cherish,
And to forgive.
With the heart open wide,
I greet each dawn,
In the dance of life,
I am reborn.
For in loving myself,
I found the key To a life full of love,
To a heart truly free.
In moments of silence,
Where shadows once crept,
I find peace in the promises I've kept,
To love myself fiercely,
And to never let go Of the light within me that continues to grow.
The journey of healing is never quite straight,
It's filled with detours and with moments of wait,
But each stumble and each fall is part of the climb To a place where self-love is no longer a crime.
I've learned to forgive myself for the times I've been weak,
For the days when the future seemed hopeless and bleak.
In forgiving myself,
I found a new grace,
A softer reflection of love in my face.
I cherish the mornings,
The dew on the grass,
The whispers of wind as the days slowly pass.
And I savor the sunsets,
The colors that blend,
A reminder that beauty lies at each end.
In the arms of nature,
I find my retreat,
A place where my heart and the earth gently meet,
The rustle of leaves,
The song of the sea,
A symphony of life that sings back to me.
Through trials and triumphs,
I've come to see That the greatest love story is the one with me,
A tale of resilience,
Of courage untamed,
Of a heart that's been broken,
But never quite shamed.
I've built a foundation of love so strong,
Brick by brick,
I've righted the wrong.
With each act of kindness to myself and others,
I weave a tapestry of love that endlessly covers.
Now,
When darkness whispers,
I don't fear its call,
For I've found my balance,
I've learned how to fall.
In the dance of shadows,
I've found my own light,
Guiding me forward through the darkest of nights.
I embrace each moment,
The good and the bad,
For even in sorrow,
There's joy to be had.
In loving myself,
I've opened the door To a life of abundance,
To a heart that can soar.
So here's to the journey,
To the battles faced,
To the scars that are worn,
To the love embraced.
For in surviving,
I've truly learned to live,
To love unconditionally,
And to always forgive.
With the heart open wide,
I welcome the rain,
For it nourishes the flowers and washes the pain.
In the dance of life,
I've found my own song,
A melody of love that's been there all along.
In the quiet of night,
When stars softly gleam,
I close my eyes and dare to dream Of a future bright,
Of a path well-tread,
Where love and forgiveness are endlessly spread.
For in loving myself,
I've found the key To a life full of love,
To a heart truly free.
