Obsessive Compulsive Self-Love

I am before you spinning new cloth of my heart
Knowing full well I always restart when it gets hard
It’s not that I don’t hold myself in high regard
But my skin burns when I ignore the obsession underneath

It sears and bites
Like ants of fire
Convincing me I’ll be in dire straights
If I don’t torch what was

So here I stack stones of what now is
The Aegis I have become
For those who understand this
Obsession

Compulsion
It will not defeat me
This new beginning
Is merely a treaty

A promise to stay
as long as you need me
And be my best self
I think he’s lovely

And should you disagree
I am no longer in need
Proving my worth
Is not my responsibility

I am here for me
and for you
Loving from a place of abundance
Standing strong in my truth

Stand with me, won’t you?
