Self-care

The Hairpiece, Mixed Medium, 9 X 12

A warm, safe home, with protective, loving care

Sense of security, take as much as you can spare

Healthy meals, proper sleep, take the much-awaited vacation

Kiss and cuddle, do "me-time" with no further explanations

Inspiration shall come as we play, sing and dance

Allow stillness and meditation as it puts you in a trance

Reflect on the sunset, believe that challenges ends

Be hopeful with each sunrise, we can always make amends

Support groups are helpful, as we break down our walls

Patterns and behaviors, self-reflection of each falls

Embracing your flaws, mistakes and shortcomings

Accepting the past, there's no more room for running

Is it possible to learn who you truly are?

Figure what you want in life, envision your future from afar

Share a laugh, foster friendships, are you willing to trust?

Go on dates, dinner for two, your inclination is a must

Repeated affirmations, retrains your beautiful mind

Self-love and self-compassion, is what you will find

You tell yourself you're gorgeous, inside and outside

Daily positive outlook, you are no longer denied
