POEM // Oh Self By Sue Ellson Text, audio & description at https://sueellson.com/blog/oh-self Oh self, oh self, oh self Why do I abandon you so Oh so busy pleasing others Oscillating to and fro Oh self, oh self, oh self Why do I accept less than I deserve Oh so busy collecting breadcrumbs Burning up all my reserves Oh self, oh self, oh self Why do I criticise my every action Caught in fear and condemnation Living in constant reaction Oh self, oh self, oh self My body speaks the truth It knows what’s right, it knows what’s wrong Do you really need any more proof? Feel me Heal me Nurture me with love See me Be me Nourish me with love Free me Thrill me Give me true self-love #SelfLovePoem #OhSelfPoem #NarcissistPoem #SueEllson #SueEllsonPoem #poem #poetry
