You And Your Self Poem by Frank Avon

You And Your Self



Just admit it:
you're in love with yourself.
it's an off and on affair,
come and go,

up and down
in and out
to and fro
high and low

You're the light of your life
you're the blight of your life
you're the height of your life
and its lowest depths;

you're the might of your life
and its most fragile frailty;
you're the fight of your life
and its cease fire;

you're the flight of your life
you're the plight of your life;
you're the sleight of your life
and its heaviest weight

It's magic
it's miraculous
it's tragic
it's ridiculous

Only you
know who
you are or would choose
to be

So give yourself a hug,
a pat on the back,
a kick in the ass,
a day in the sack

You extend
you pretend
you suspend
you upend

For only you
can amend
can atone
can revise / revitalize

Only you can forgive
(you can't forget)
Only you can live
with regret (or without)

So close your eyes
take a deep breath
relax your muscles
your chest, your abs,

your hips, your thighs,
your calves, your delts,
your heart, your mind
all of you

You are many,
you are one
what God has joined together
let no one cast asun-

der
Amen
Amen
and again Amen
