Sunshine Told Me Love Yourself Just As I Love My Own Shine. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

When i loved myself
I came to the realization
that God love me as i am.

I learned to be quite and still
and felt that life comes to me.

I came to see emotional pain
as a sign to check if i am in truth.

When i loved myself…
I learned to meet my own needs
without thinking that i am selfish.

I began to see the desires of my heart.
I felt feelings without a second thought.

When i do something amazing
i praised myself and felt
that i am a gift to the world.

….
You were ignorant and thought it pride when you loved yourself.

I am a flower. I cannot forget my scent.
I am colour.i cannot forget my
colourful wings shining in the gloriuous sun.

In my search for meanings I found myself.

I found innocence in passion
and light in darkness.

Sun told me love yourself
just as i love my own shine.
