Embracing Self-Love: A Journey of Power and Peace

In the virtual world, I've found my retreat,
Building New Orleans, a dream complete.
Hours spent crafting, letting my spirit mend,
In this digital haven, my heart can truly ascend.

When, my heart was cast away, my muse gone astray,
I questioned myself, why unlovable, did I sway?
But I've discovered a truth, bold and profound,
I am lovable, with self-love, I'm truly unbound.

They said, "You're too much," a familiar refrain,
Yet, it's their limitations, their loss, their disdain.
For I've embraced self-love, a powerful decree,
No longer defined by their inability to see me.

Why be with those who can't cherish my light,
When I can shine on my own, radiant and bright?
I'd rather stand alone, resilient and free,
Embracing self-love as my unwavering decree.

In the journey of life, I build my dreams high,
Every step, every moment, under the endless sky.
My heart's desire, it may never truly be,
But I'll create a world that brings soulful glee.

With courage, I forge ahead, a powerful soul,
In self-love's embrace, I've found my true goal.
No longer bound by the past, I am set free,
In the love I hold for myself, I am me.
