Self Love

Overcoming Toxic Roots

She stems from toxic roots that existed deep within her, she never knew

The negative and toxic voices rooted in her from society and parents grew

Embedded themselves into her pure and innocent thriving soil

The dark shadows caused her inner beauty and self love to spoil

They clawed their views and negative opinions into her core

Until, she couldn't even recognize herself anymore

She knew she couldn't be defined by her toxic roots

But, she didn't know how to break free, or what was true

Everyday she worked hard to dig up their claws and break free

And the more shadows she faced, the more clarity she could see

Her intuition, strength, and unconditional love kept her alive

So that her roots of self love could grow, take over, and thrive
