On my way to self-love
I realized there was no clear path
I had to take the path that was myself
It wasn't the prettiest at first
It wasn't the easiest
But it was the only one where
I could meet the people who were supposed to be part of my destiny
It was the only one where
The parts of me I tried so hard to erase would reveal themselves
And would gracefully serve their purpose
On my way to self-love
I sat with my demons
And realized behind the masks I tried so hard to escape
For I kept confusing intergenerational trauma with timeless teachings
Were my ancestors waiting to bless me
On my way to self-love
I learned to trust
I learned to be vulnerable
Loving this landscape I used to hate
It's not yet true love
But at least now it's me
