A Heart at Peace

Alex Hanuse

By Alexander CookPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

What is self-love? A person or a cup?

Is it bitter as darkness, or sweet like syrup?

Do I find it in another’s arms?

No, I won't fall for fleeting charms.

So I decided to step back, and smile with ease,

For self-love is choosing me, a heart at peace
