"To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance." ―Oscar Wilde

Loving oneself is an art.

Setting me and my life apart

Existing in the mirror is me

Standing out is also me

Reflections that I

Desire to perceive

Was a masked demon

Who came to deceive.

I hated the me in the

mirror first.

Nothing fitted my

utmost thirst.

Loving oneself is an art.

To learn it,

nothing needs to be set apart.

Listen to your heart

Which only speaks in silence.

Learn this art

The thirst of reflection is violence.

Feel your soul

That will never cost a toll.

Let out a smile

Let that body be a beautiful isle.

A self monologue

Ended with a satisfying epilogue.

Fell in love with the one outside

The mirror.

Braced up and smiled

at the sight of mirror

which seemed significantly

more unimpeachable.

---

A stroll. A talk.

Do you like walking on straight roads or curvy ones?
