Loving myself unconditionally is
Standing in my heart of courage.
It’s using my voice
To speak up,
Stand up,
Standing for me
And what I want.
It’s the willingness to confront.
It’s sometimes blunt.
It’s getting to the “heart of the matter”
Not about being “flattered.”
It’s the truth
And standing in the middle of it.
Holding on to my wit
Standing firm – unwilling to sit.
Claiming my voice
As my only choice.
Allowing it out
With no need to shout.
It’s about the song
And how I belong
To community
So it becomes more a part of me.
It’s like the tree
Growing deeper roots.
That’s how I want to be.
Unconditional love is feeling the shaky ground
And not running away.
It’s not about getting lost – it’s getting found.
It’s keeping negative thoughts at bay.
It’s giving my voice – a say!
