I could be bitter
I could be sweet
I could be salty
I could be your treat
I could be whatever you want me to be
It’s all perception
I know who I am
And that’s no misconception
I hope you’ll see me for me, the light
But even if you don’t, won’t be crying at night
I’m so proud of me for knowing my flavor
Each piece of me I savor
And if you don’t appreciate my taste
My time I won’t waste
No hard feelings
We’re not supposed to be on this path
It’s simple math
1+1 isn’t 0, it’s 2
The Universe is right on que
I see me through and through
Someone will too
And they’ll become my crew

I really love this piece, it’s been in my head for a few days and I finally decided to jot it down! I formatted it differently too, I don’t know, this felt a little different than most of my poems. Inspired by lyrics in a song, this one is simple but deep and I love the way self love comes through so powerfully. I hope this helps you on your journey, be fearless and free!
