To Self-Love
As cold creeps in through your window, With a roaring downpour; I just wanted you to know, I love you a little more. Again when the bright sunshine, Seeps in through your veins, My heart skips a beat with your laughter, On all such days. I have watched you putting in your best, While sometimes merely battling to survive, As circumstances fast-forward, rewind, slow and pause, The controls of your life. You have always been ashamed of your blemishes, Apologetic for being too wild. You have always been ashamed of not confining, Within the walls built by the world, my child. Today, even as you stand tall, all by yourself, Bracing up to soar; Dear 'Self', remember, through thick and thin, I have always loved you, a little more.
