Loving Yourself
A "Love in 50 Words" Challenge Entry
Tonight I peered into the mirror...
I'm seeking a younger child who's lost!
Dejected breathing, pondering if...
that inner child is forever lost?
Intensely, yearningly to enclose
that lost little girl I used to be,
just squeezing her in the biggest hug;
'fore my whisper, "yourself you can be."

When asked "are you crazy?!" my favorite come back is:
"yes! And I have the papers to prove it! How about you?" LOL

Reflecting on Past New Years
This year I can feel the changes that I have gone through. Gone is the timid little thing that was often invisible, but I'm not sure if I have completed the transformation into the dragon that I knew was my destiny early last year.

So sadly reminiscent of our youth—so powerful and relatable.
A bit of a sad poem. Perhaps our inner child never dies completely however, it is silenced by life as we change and grow older. Nicely Written!!
Hug yourself some more on me. 🫂🫂🫂 ⚡💙⚡
I have long been past the stage of longing for my child self, but you have beautifully written how we all felt at one time or another. Well Done!!!
