Self Love

It hurts my soul

And yet I try

I'm torn to bits

But to keep up, I strive.


I help break shackles

And put back smiles 

But when left alone

I break down, I cry.


No horizon in sight

It's only cold nights

No visitors to my hut

None asking if I'm alright.


I leave my door ajar

For any passer-by

Looking for some warmth

Or to while away time.


Until one lonely night

I'm awakened by a cry

An ask for help

From one about to die?


I fly, through my window 

And leave behind my pride

For that cry for help I know

Was myself - my inner child.
