I'm trying to love myself more.
I'm trying to remember
that my words have meaning
and my actions shake
the earth.
I'm trying to realize
that i am created
from love.
I'm trying to remember
to brag about myself,
tell silly stories about
my life
for maybe
someone out there would like
to listen to
what i have to say.
I'm trying to remember that

I am the hush noise
hidden in the air.
I am the waves crashing against
the rocks.
I am the laughs
shared.
I am the melody
of the birds flying high.
I'm trying to acknowledge
myself.
