I put a ring on my finger

*

I put a ring On my finger Under the New Moon Last night

*

I made a commitment

To love myself

Unconditionally

*

To remind myself

Of beauty

In ugly times

*

To give myself

The freedom

I need

To breathe

*

To speak my Truth

To state my needs

To express myself fully

*

Even if my voice shakes

Even if it’s unpleasant

Even if it will offend someone

Even if it is scary

Even if I will end up alone

*

As I’m not lonely

When I’m alone

I’m still loved and supported

Held and witnessed

By myself

*

And so

Under the New Moon

Last night

I married myself

As this is where it all begins

In the Love

To myself

Healthy

Free.
