To Myself

to myself
be myself
and
none other

know myself
and just be
myself
feeling no regret
but pride
having no arrogance
but humility
in abundance

to myself
be kind
be more understanding
to my limitations
be loving
no matter what

because there is no
other self
than myself
because my best friend
my true lover
is just this self
and no other

to myself
i am thankful.
