Love Yourself

 Behind the scene,there were negative voices,

Oh,how deeply saddened I am to hear it

However,today I choose a softer voice,

To be kind to myself, this is what I long for.

In the mirror, I see a garden,

So beautiful and breathtaking 

So awe in wonder, I'd rather say,

Starting to love myself ,truly embracing it.

It is not a thorn nor a problem,

But a boundary of bloom to have

Saying "no" is not a wall of fear,

But it's a yes to my very soul.

Accept yourself , I'd gently say,

The bright, the broken, the in-between 

For now I wear my scars as stars,

Proof of battles I've survived.
