pheonix


i’ve given

up on

hating

myself


it takes too

much effort


why cry


about my


appearance


(every human

is a star


and there is

no god but

man)


of course

i remember


everything


that passed

through my


lips today


but the only

reason i

remember


is due to bad habits


21 days to make a habit


21 days to break a habit


have i ever

gone 21

days without

self loathing


may today be the first


may tomorrow

i rise


a pheonix

bathed in


gold and

red


to love

myself


another day
