In times when you are not the chosen one, Choose yourself | #poem

With each stroke of the clock hand, passing week, day, night, and month

Is the person you are dealing with correct? of time, attention, and opportunity?

With every movement of our eyelashes, ear-to-ear smiles, and crackling laughs, is it right to be this happy? for something that is only temporary?

With every wave hitting the beach, together with the shouts of children chasing each other, is it right to let go forever? with promises that lead nowhere?

With every breath of cold wind, and faraway eye shadows, is it right to keep trying to choose? to hurt one's own feelings?

With every wail and forced smile, choose to rejoice after sobbing, choose to love yourself completely, and remain open to forgetting and forgiveness;

Because with every turning away and rejection, God provides something more special; In times when you are not the chosen one, Choose yourself.
