An Ode to Self-Love

Writer: Saheli  DeySaheli Dey

Updated: Dec 11, 2023



My soul is a museum,

With its many admirers and visitors,

Some praise my creation,

While some are only faultfinders.

My psyche is a garden,

Where greenery flourishes itself,

Wild flowers never needed a gardener

Because they can prevail themselves.

I'm a complete puzzle,

There's no such thing as a missing piece,

Amid all societal chaos,

I carved myself up to be my peace.

What is that castle that I can't make?

And what is that promise that I can't keep?

I'm no damsel in distress,

Who needs a knight's protection to fall asleep.

It was my sword and shield that fought,

All the injustices that were ever done,

The world has only made me recognize,

That I can love myself better than anyone.
