I talked with self for a while

I am carrying myself safe.

By Ekta K. Kalra Published 2 years ago 1 min read

I walked with me

for a while

when early morning

I got up

I talked to me

for a while

I cherish that moment

within me

I carried myself a bit

ahead of time

behind the disputes

and carried my joys

safe

I enrolled in self’s praise

on a self stage

I loved myself a bit

I kissed my own lips

mirror helped me

see straight

how I smiled

for me

a spent few minutes with me

to assure I was safe

I was lifted from life again

this time

for a superior gain

I nurtured self for relief

there were gems within

me

I walked in life

for a while with me

caring for me

nurturing the me in me

I kissed myself in relief

how artificial is world

not within me?

i realised it deep within

I talked with self a while

Great knowledge I possess

I was surprised

I touched my face with love

how much more

that moment of love

i heard

I respected my own beliefs

no I didn’t carry those

culturally

they were the ones I discovered

and carried them safe

heard

unheard

by the world

i kissed my self in relief

I carried myself safe these days

for no other person could do

that for me

could do

that for me

i am excited

to be with me

again

again

next morning

what a relief

what a true coming dream

I walked a while with self

I will practice that style

again

again

tomorrow morning

after I have slept for hours

deep

Amen
