Man in the mirror

Dear reader,

Is any person awake past midnight truly sober?

Aren’t we all just intoxicated – drunk,stoned out creatures from our beautiful God,

We are victims of the dark,

We’ve been robbed of our sleep,

The night stole us,

The night stole parts of us…

I wasn’t like that before – I’m not the same person I was before last night,

I put up a little resistance and dared myself to live,

I dared myself to breathe,

To exist as me,

Before I thought of every other person I “owe” an identity to,

I dared me to look at myself!

Stare, gaze, study – my very own features and call each and every one of them Beautiful

I looked at my face and saw beauty,

I saw grace,

(Guess what people?…)

(Guess what happened?…)

I saw myself…

I saw myself!

I saw myself and I was beautiful…

I am beautiful

I see Divine in every feature that is mine,

I take my time in the mirror,

I take my time with myself,

I respect myself…

Dear reader,

This random stranger on the internet loves themselves,

I am called to take care of myself,

Be kind to myself,

Grow and cultivate myself,

My culture is my very own self,

I come as ME…

I come in doses of adrenaline,

I’ll make you jump,

I’ll make you soar in thoughts,

I’ll teach you how to hold yourself…

I’m an amazing creature,

I’m blessed – called to show God’s prowess,

I’ll meet you in kindness,

Extend grace to every single soul because I trust myself,

I come as a soft landing,

I come as land,

I’m expanse,

I am yet to multiply,

I increase – in character, trait and excellence

I come as the prize,

I am the essence of victory,

I am one of one,

I come as HAMISI
