Do Me A FavorA Poem by LanaWhen I give myself compassion I allow the energy around me To envelop me with its sweatest melody Like a fluffy cotton candy that leaves behind me A trail of sweetness And kindness And empathy When I give myself compassion I tell the world I am free to be me I owe to myself To be the friend I've never had To be the inner voice that is certain Of my strength My worthiness to be on this planet When I am my own friend I tell the world I love them I have the space in my own planet I call : The Heart To help everyone I come in contact of For I am just like them Grew up as all the orphans Yearning for a place to belong For I am just like them Just like you Even though, raised by parents I was an orphan in my complexity My uniqueness that society Has so long told us was a difficulty You are who you are No matter where the wind takes us Have the gut to swim against the current Because although we are all the same We are orphans Who shall give ourselves compassion Do me a favor Be your own friend You are a champion Of love Beauty So much so the stars stop gleaming The sunset cease to exists Colors weep The Earth dies in its sleep For your heart is too big Too beautiful to compete Do me a favor Be your own friend Give yourself compassion Just a little sweetness Just a hint of kindness © 2023 Lana |
