Drum Roll A Poem About Self-Love and Body Acceptance
This spoken-word poem invites listeners to reconnect with self-worth and self-acceptance at any stage of life. Recorded outdoors in nature, the words celebrate the wisdom, strength and beauty that come with experience rather than striving for an idealised version of ourselves. The poem encourages releasing self-criticism and meeting the body, heart and soul with greater kindness and respect. It offers an uplifting reminder that the time to begin loving yourself more fully is now.

Drum roll.
Don't wait for your waist to be thin.
For greater self-love to begin.
Get out,
Dear friends,
Of your own way.
Don't put off happiness today.
Don't judge yourself for growing old.
You're sassy,
Savvy,
Wise and bold.
The years have bought you treasures rich.
Don't scratch self-deprecation's itch.
That body must not hide and cower.
It's vital.
Faithful.
Full of power.
That heart of yours is full and true.
May its strength radiate through you.
That soul of yours,
It knows it all.
Go be the light to which you're called.
The greatness.
That you are,
Dear one.
Can't be replaced.
By anyone.
Do not for your own life rehearse.
Love yourself up.
Put yourself first.
It's time.
I see that knowing grin.
For greater self-love.
To begin.
