Focus 🧘‍♀️

A result of self love

By JoiaSimonePublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Focus 🧘‍♀️

Requires a kind of deep love for yourself

That a lot of us may never obtain

To be so into yourself

without a doubt

Can only be achieved

by overcoming pain

Inflicted by no one

other than yourself

Scars so ugly & bruises so dark

That you finally CHOOSE help

When you take the time

to really sit within yourself

Asking questions

for all the answers you thought

You’d never tell

You learn how hard you’ve been

How cruel, nasty and disrespectful

To the only person capable

of making sure YOU win

Oh no

It doesn’t stop there

Of course not my beautiful black sistah

Your story will never end,

Even when you start to get the gist of

Loving all of you

with your whole heart

Allowing yourself to know

Each day is a fresh start

You see

Your life or lack there of

Had no depth, no purpose

Without your love

You were dead

Mind shut,

Heart was ice cold

Until the goddess within you

Let you hear your biggest secret

A story untold

You are not your mistakes

You are not even your own thoughts

And the love you so yearn for

Will never be bought

No. Not with paper money,

no Coin, gem or silver.

But only with time, patience and kindness

A kind of consideration

That you must decide to give her

Our minds and hearts suffer

From pure starvation

For a deep love within

Much greater than

External validation

See I am you and you are me

And we’ve beat each other down

So much and too often

We forgot we wore a crown 👸🏾

Yes, that’s right you my lovely are

None other than a Queen

Who is finally choosing

To do the right thing

Finally choosing

To be on

your team

And so now we Focus 🧘‍♀️

Because we’ve acquired that love

That so many others have yet to obtain

We are finally so in love

With not running From our pain

Love and light

Looks like embracing the change 💕
