25. Poem

I love myself

Can't see me hurt

Never giving anyone

The sword

To cut me anymore

 

I respect myself

Dignity and honour 

I hold

Won't let anyone

Destroy it anymore

 

I'm at peace

With my mind and soul

Won't let your demons

Play with me anymore

 

I'm within my fort

The fortress of God

A warm shell 

Protecting the pearl

Won't allow anyone

To touch my heart anymore

 

I'm strongest now

With divine powers

Nothing matters anymore

For what I'm blessed with

I'm more than grateful for it
