Image for the poem Self-Love, My Forever Fight

Self-Love, My Forever Fight

From darkness I emerged, battered and torn
My past a shattered mirror, shattered and worn
The scars I bear, a testament to my pain
Yet within me, a flicker of hope remains

Self-love, my beacon of light
A path to healing, a path to flight
With every step, I break the chains
Her false love no longer has any claim

I refuse to be defined by my scars
Or let the wounds control who I am
The power of love, a force so strong
I am worthy, I am enough, I am whole, and I belong

The journey is long, the road may be tough
But the fire within me, it will never be snuffed
I am my own light, my own guide
With each step forward, I reclaim my pride

I will keep moving, one step at a time
With the power of love, I will continue to climb
Through the darkness and into the light
My self-love, my guide, my forever fight.

This poem is a testament to my journey of healing and growth, and a reminder that we all have the power to break free from the chains of our past. With each step forward, I reclaim my pride and my worth. I am my own light, my own guide, my forever fight.
