Accept yourself

Accept yourself unconditionally

Not to a degree but totally

No one can give it to you

No one can take it away from you

It’s your supreme power, use it

Feel it, breathe it, assume it

Take it for granted

The seed once planted

Will grow as you grow

You will flourish as though

You are no longer aware

That you languished down there

A timid, tentative soul

Trapped in a deepening hole

You were digging with all your might

Energised by your fright

Fuelled by your fear of people

People just like you
