Breathing in Self-Acceptance
I take a breath,
And let it go,
Release the weight,
I've come to know.
The need to please,
Falls like the rain,
What matters now,
Is what I gain.
A quiet peace,
Fills up my chest,
Self-love's the gift,
That I know best.

Dancing with My Shadow
I see the me,
I used to hide,
The parts I feared,
Now side by side.

A gentle flow,
Each flaw a note,
In my solo.
No longer lost,
Or cast away,
I stand with pride,
In light and gray.

My worth within,
Through tides of grace,
And softened skin.

But now they hold,
A message clear.
The shore is calm,
The storm has passed,
Self-kindness reigns,
And peace will last.
