PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I owe myself happiness one day.

I owe myself an ice cream sundae.

I owe myself more than I’ve bargained for,

More than these battles that upset the core

And undermine my self-love,

An essential I need more of.

I owe myself an outcome that is just.

I owe myself more smiles, more light, more trust

Than the amount I’ve come to accept

Which has long seen me quietly kept.

I owe myself all these chances arisen.

I owe myself more credit than I’ve given.

I owe myself a moment to remember when.

I owe myself a chance to start again.

I owe myself, yes. I owe myself.
