Hello, beautiful readers! It is a beautiful day in sunny South Florida, which makes my soul soar! Before I head to the beach, I decided to participate in this week's We'ave Written Weekly (W3) prompt.
Elizabeth invites us to write a love sonnet to ourselves. A sonnet has 14 lines written in iambic pentameter (ten syllables divided into five pairs with the first syllable being soft and the second being strong). I used the following rhyming scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE.

Sweet Self-Love
my life was not always an easy road
it was littered with uphill climbs, potholes
a constant struggle to play many roles
suppressing my feelings, quietly stowed
supporting others was family code
making my friends happy fulfilled my goals
but doing so gave away all controls
until I discovered myself and glowed
fortified with a new understanding
seeing the beauty that resides in me
refusing to give away my powers
my strong resilience keeps me still standing
releasing conformity to be free
I rise in greatness, receive my flowers
