Personal Anthem

 Today, I choose me

I choose my well-kempt hair, Even when it is unkempt, I still have the image

I choose my face, not much of it.

I choose its beauty

I choose to see through my eyes, the endless possibilities

The sincerity in my eyes to remind me that i should be loyal to myself

I choose my nose, to breathe the freshest of air

To smell the best fragrances, that will remind of the flowers

Because life is beautiful

Just as I am.

I choose my mouth, it speaks my mind

It speaks love, hope, its out there

I plant it in the universe,

For my my children

For other people

I choose my mouth to heal and bless others

I choose this, For me.

Today, I choose me

I choose my body, my curvy and meaty body

To feel good, to protect me

I choose me.

I choose my heart

To drive me

To pound with excitement

of love

of happiness

To fret in fear

To feel all of it

Because i choose me

They say, 'you know you have a big heart when you feel guilty about putting yourself and your needs first.' Well, in my opinion, feel the guilt but choose you anyway coz they'll always turn against you when you can no longer offer what they benefitted from. Be selfless but make yourself a priority.

The language of my body gives me the strength to belong. I stand strong but in my strength, I grow weak too. I am a lover of self. The self that one day. Yes, one day, will invite at its freedom, the company of others. I choose me but I still must post with others.


Wonderful piece Bubby.Keep scoring.
