Buried Within – A Tanka

Buried within me

I found what I thought I’d lost

A love for myself

Long hidden by a facade

The time has come for release

      Thank you so much for the award Christy, I really do appreciate it. I hope that you are not offended, but I stopped accepting awards some time ago. I am honored and humbled just by your likes and comments, these are enough for me. Again, I’m sorry and I hope that I have not offended you by declining the nomination although it is much appreciated.

    ‘they’ say we must truly love ourselves before we can truly love another. i have always wondered who ‘they’ is…

      I agree with the phrase, but who “they” are is a bit of a mystery. Clearly though they were much wiser than I am. I don’t think I would have been smart enough to come to this conclusion myself.
