My true self

If I do have a soul

With unproven existence

Or maybe it is my conscience

A strange feeling

A voice, springing out of nothing

Telling me things ignored, neglected, left out

It has taken the shape of a child

A little girl

I owe my highest allegiance to her

To keep her happy

To keep the smile forever shining on her face

To console her and tell her that I love her immensely

Is my duty

She is me.

I am her.

We are one.

And yet, we are not.

She has forsaken every mask or disguise that I create

Ignored every flaw, every lie, every crime

To have her love me

Every single moment

Is a hidden bliss

But not anymore

I will open my arms wide

Wide enough for her

Embrace her

Tell her that she’s a true beauty

A miracle of nature

And that no one can take her place

Her uniqueness exists and makes me love her even more

She’s compassionate, kind

Humorous, generous

Understanding every need, ever emotion of mine

Never demanding a reason or justification

I call her my true friend

If only I could love her equally

I would finally come to terms with life.   

Author's Note

I believe, we should not deny ourselves the various happiness and joys life has to offer. If we could love ourselves enough, we would be a far happier bunch than present. Let yourself be as crazy, funny, unique as you can be. YOU, more than anyone, deserve as much happiness as possible. :)

I felt myself in your words. A reflection of a moment when I reached out to that girl within me, the one who refused to be anyone other than who she is. It is a beautiful thing when we learn to love all the parts of our being. This was so beautifully expressed and right on the mark.
