DIGNITY

In the depths of my being, a flame ignites

A beacon of strength that forever fights.

It's the essence of worth, the core of my being,

A precious jewel that is forever gleaming.

Self-respect, a reservoir of inner might,

A radiant force that guides me through the night.

With every step I take, with every choice I make,

It whispers softly, urging me not to break.

In the face of adversity, it stands tall,

An unwavering fortress, never to fall.

It shields my soul from doubt's poisonous sting,

Embracing imperfections, letting my spirit sing.

No longer will I shrink in the shadows of doubt,

For self-respect is a flame that can't be snuffed out.

I honor myself, my thoughts, and my desires,

Unyielding to judgment, fueling my fires.

I'll stand with dignity, my head held high,

For self-respect is the wings on which I fly.

No external validation can define my worth,

For within me, a universe of strength gives birth.

So let the winds of doubt and criticism blow,

I'll stand firm, my self-respect in tow.

With every breath I take, I'll embrace my truth,

For in self-respect, I find everlasting youth.

I am the keeper of my own self-worth,

A masterpiece unfolding since my birth.

In the temple of self-respect, I reside,

A beacon of light, forever by my side.
