Have you ever tried to Love YourSelf, only to keep reverting back to being critical, judgmental and unkind to yourSelf? It takes a lot to stand strong in who you are and Love every part of you along the way. Your inner critic/saboteur will give you plenty of reasons NOT to! You already know that the whole process of Loving yourSelf is very challenging. I wrote this poem called Self Love Is Not For Sissies awhile ago, because I know from my own experience that Self Love is not easy – it is not for sissies.
Why Self Love Is Not Easy!
Self Love Is Not For Sissies
When the bullies upstairs in my silly old mind
get loud, obnoxious and extremely unkind
reminding me that I am not wanted, loved or even smart
no matter what wisdom resides in my Heart
Self Love is for those of us ready to stand strong
in the midst of these bullies, saying we are wrong
They may look like a ‘somebody’ outside of ourselves
until we learn to Love and embrace them as part of our Selves
Self Love is the glue that heals this inner split
which projected my deepest fears out – I have to admit
out into the peripheral dualistic view
like a blind spot in the mirror making it look as if I am two,
without realizing that actually – I am you!
Self Love will make it so much clearer
in your rearview, inward and sideview mirror
reflecting back to you with Love
that all is One – as it is below, so it is above
Dear Sisters, the solution to our problems is not all that far
Let’s do this together, and stop doubting who we are
When we use this Love in our beautiful Hearts
we will mend all these scared and broken parts
Self Love makes you strong and tolerant of this pain
so you’ll never fall for the trick again
that you are not capable, not powerful, not Loving nor wise
and shows you there’s no more need to walk in disguise
Instead let’s walk hand in hand both inside and out
reminding each other what we are all about
Shine our Light far and wide
solidly resting in our Love inside
Can you relate? This is the his-story about you and me and we are lucky that we are re-writing it. Together we can start the Her-story and heal the sissies and help Her grow up to a powerful, confident Woman who knows HerSelf well enough to close the door on that chapter and step into the new.
