My strength and resilience, they guide me through,
With every challenge faced, I am renewed.
For in my own embrace, I am whole,
A love for myself that will never grow old.

I have learned to cherish every flaw and scar,
Embracing my imperfections, for they make me who I am.
No longer seeking validation from another's eye,
I find my worth within, reaching for the sky.

No longer captive to society's ideals,
I celebrate my uniqueness, for it reveals
The beauty and grace that lies deep within,
A liberation of the soul ready to begin.

So dear me, I write this letter to impart,
The importance of self-love, never to depart.
In darkness and light, through every twist and turn,
Forever love yourself, for your soul will always yearn.
