All that I Deserve
Journey to Loving Myself
Forgetting first to know myself
And all her deepest essence,
I stooped so as to bring to self
The love of hearts I knew much less;
I searched and tried a hundred times,
Wondering why resisted tides
Hit my ship so hard she cracked
Alas! My world, it all came down...
Forgetting first to love myself
I set aside my crown,
And with no shield to save my head
Their stones it knocked her down.
Remembering now that no one else
But I, can show the deserving how
To pry, recline and tow the line
Respect and love both intertwine.
Remembering first to love myself
Or no one else may know the test of how
What goes right starts as such—from the beginning.
In perfect vision the stacks arrange
As I envision my ships that sail
In chariot gallops, my heart! She hops!
Observing that my happiness
Wrapped gently in her tenderness
begs that my standards
She does not regress;
And so they ordered back to me
The gifts they now must receive—
A love that grows and never dies
A life that wakes a thousand lives
May 'luxury' not deceive my eyes
And may 'she' never leave my side.
