Scheherazade85

"There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up." Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray. I simply do not want to be kept just because I could be picked up by someone else. With this piece of wisdom from one of my adored poets, I consider myself to have found a treasure--a treasure to rediscover my self-worth, redefine my existence and resuscitate the long forlorn feeling of self-love.

If there is a god,

it exists in me, nowhere else.

The best way to love myself

is by being the god in me.

I will act as my own god.

I can be omniscient to my own tiny spectacle.

I am well-versed in this secluded jungle.

I know every blind curve, every high cliff,

where I could fall in some nights when the moon is absent.

I can foresee, I can discern, I simply can tell.

Like a true god,

I will know those that will bring me harm

and that which will bring me good.

I just have to intently listen, to pay attention.

With this, I will never be lost.

Because I am my own god.


If I will be loved, I should be loved right.

Otherwise, I am not loved at all.

And that is fine.
