Learning to love

Amidst the chaos and the strife,

She was lost in this unknown world,

With no direction, no purpose in life,

Her heart ached, her soul unfurled.

She searched for love in all the wrong places,

Hoping it would fill the void within,

But she realized, with teary graces,

That loving herself was where she should begin.

So she embarked on a journey, a quest,

To discover who she truly was,

To embrace her flaws, her quirks, and the rest,

To let go of the need to conform.

She learned to silence the voices in her head,

That told her she wasn't enough,

She learned to love her imperfections instead,

And to be kind to herself when times got tough.

She found beauty in her scars and her mistakes,

For they shaped her into who she is today,

And she learned to love herself, for heaven's sake,

In this unknown world, in her own unique way.

Now, she walks with confidence, head held high,

No longer afraid of what others may say,

For she has learned to spread her wings and fly,

And in herself, she has found a love that will stay.

So here she is, in this reality,

Learning to love herself, unapologetically,

For she was enough, just as she is,

And that, my dear, is the ultimate grand slam.
