Analysis of Unveiling Self-Love: A Journey of Acceptance and Growth
In the garden of life, I began to bloom,
A delicate bud, seeking love's sweet perfume.
But as I grew, my petals unfurled,
I yearned for acceptance in this vast world.
I chased after love, like a butterfly in flight,
Seeking validation, day and night.
But the more I pursued, the more I'd lose,
For love cannot be found in others' views.
With time, I learned, as the seasons turned,
That self-love is a flame that must be earned.
I shed my inhibitions, embraced my true self,
And found a love that could not be found on a shelf.
No longer did I seek in others' embrace,
For I found solace in my own inner space.
I realized that I am enough, just as I am,
A radiant soul, a girl with a plan.
I let go of the notion that love must be chased,
For it found me when self-love was embraced.
I danced with joy, like a bird in the sky,
Knowing my worth, never asking why.
No longer did I yearn for love's sweet caress,
For I found love within, a treasure to possess.
I embraced my quirks, my flaws, and my grace,
And found a love that time could not erase.
So, dear girl, let go of the need to chase,
Embrace yourself, with love's gentle embrace.
For in your heart, the love you seek resides,
A love that blossoms, as you let go of tides.
Grow, my dear, like a flower in the sun,
Accept yourself, for the battle is won.
For in self-love's embrace, you'll find the key,
To a life filled with joy, and forever free.

About this poem
As I grew I have encountered many challenges through body shaming and low self esteem. As I grow I realise my worth, accepting myself for who I am and filled with self love. I realised love cannot be chased but it will find you instead. Influencing each and every girl out there to be confident and love theirselves regardless of the world’s opinion. You are enough, you are seen and loved.
