I dipped myself in love

And I came out glistening

I smiled wide and moved my body

Every movement had a purpose

I walked straight and tall

A confidence consumed my body

Even what I hated about myself

Recieved compliments from my very own lips

I held myself for a while and said a little prayer

Thank you God for giving me the ability to feel a love so immense, that my pain feels terribly uncomfortable staying

Even after I’ve opened my soul and invited my pain in as a special guest
