Dear Self, I Love You Above All Else
An anaphora poem about being true to yourself
My dearest self, you are the love of my life. I took a very long time to realize that, because of you, I love. I am resilient because of your strength. I am courageous because I have you by my side. I am smart because of your intelligence. I am compassionate because of your caring. I am modest and patient because of your follies. I am forgiving because I learn from your mistakes. I am able to laugh because of your humor. I am able to give of myself to others because of all you give to me. I am able to learn from my mistakes because you create space for reflection. I am beautiful because you define beauty as love. I am loved by many because I am loved by you.
