🪶🪶🪶I owe myself an apology For all of the times I tore myself apart. When I neglected my own needs Lowered my standards Berated myself And put myself down. For the self-sabotage I continually inflicted upon myself And the times when I apologized For being who I was And expressing myself authentically.
And I owe myself The permission to start anew. To forgive myself For the battles I fought That weren’t mine to fight For all of the love That I failed to give myself And for the times when I failed to realise That rather than being broken I was worthy of value, respect And beautiful, brilliant things in life And that how I treated myself Dictated how others would view me And in turn, behave towards me So by showering myself With love, kindness, forgiveness and respect In turn, I could pave the way For others to do the same.
