I want to praise myself.

by Audrea Diaz

 


I want to praise the person who tells me that I am enough.

I want to praise the person who said enough is enough.

I want to praise the person who holds me.

I want to praise the person who heals me.


I want to praise the person who reminds me that I am

safe,

centered, 

and whole ---


I want to praise myself.
