Orchid

A poem about self-care

I am easy to love.
I take care of myself like an orchid—
I’m a lily for my peace.
I ask myself what I need,
and I provide

plenty of food for my table.
Rest

is not a luxury—
I take it freely.

I receive.

I set boundaries
on my time
my body
my space
my presence

is not a requirement.

I am a peach.
Delicious, 
yet easily marked,
so I don’t hand myself
to the clumsy.
Carry me better than I’d carry me.

That is a requirement.

I love myself loudly.
I think my skin is beautiful.
I laugh at all my jokes—
I’m my own home.

My home is my sanctuary.
I keep it clean
because I’m my guest.

I get dressed
when I have nowhere to go.
I don’t own clothes
that make me feel heavy.
I let myself feel pretty.

I let myself FEEL.
What’s on your heart today, Orchid?
How can I water you?
