Love Song for Myself

If I am a doormat

Then I am handwoven

I am exceptional

I am a timeless treasure on a hardwood floor

If I am a punching bag

Then I am here to get you fit

You are a heavyweight fighter

I am genuine cow leather

If I am loneliness then I’m the loneliest

If I’m suffering then I am the morphine

If I’m a death sentence then I too am

The relief from all the pain

And if I am a hurricane

Coming to destroy everything

Then I too am the return of all things beautiful

Maybe one day you will see

All of the beauty within me

But until then, I’ll be in touch

I’ll just be here falling in love
