A SELFLESS ACT

By Adriana Torres

To love oneself is not selfish

A selfless act that takes time and persistence

An action that can’t be defined by another’s words That loving oath and devote Is not self drain

To love oneself is as good as it gets I’ve come to believe that loving myself Is loving everything else a little bit more You learn to love, fall in love, and fall out of love But behind every successful lover’s love is an incentive love for one’s own being

A special type of beauty is presented when one’s vulnerability is displayed And no your vulnerability doesn’t equal weakness

Or anything to be ashamed of Ignorance with those that view your self care as childish and foolish

So grab that facemask

Get them nail done put on that glowy sun-kissed highlighter of yours

And run out the door with your favorite flowy red dress

Treat yourself and love every bit of it

Because you're worth it and completely deserving
