Ode to me

To whom I let be free

Never insult, always praised to be seen

Happy as can be

So here it is, an ode to me

Who hates tea

And also the sea

And brie

And all the greed

But deals with it all, calm like a tree

So here it is, an ode to me

Who can see farther than there is to see

Who can’t give good advice but will listen, whether he or she

Who has many flaws, imperfect to a degree

Who is good at english, but goes into physics, good luck to thee

Who’s future may have no guarantee

So here it is, an ode to me

Who can’t spout off any royal decree

Who can’t think fast, unlike a referee

Who is reckless, and rather fight than flee

Who is stubborn, and would never beg or plea

Who has no religion, unlike a devotee

But wonderful anyways, a true VIP

So here it is, an ode to me


The author's comments:

This peice is all about accepting you flaws and loving yourself. I thought about writing something based on low self esteem, but I realized that it was so self depricating and that I never actually thought I only had flaws, so I ended up transitioning it from self-hatred to self-love.
