"Tune In"
Written by Salkis Re
Nobody has a problem rating others
until it is time to rate themselves.
Beauty then becomes speculative 
as they disregard 
what their own mirror tells.
All of a sudden 
when the tables turn on you
you want kindness and understanding,
but asked to rate anybody else 
you don't see your words as reprimanding.
So I choose not to play 
with your head games
and just walk a path of my own.
And Never again
will I look to others
to confirm what I've always known.
This road will be a lonely one
as I abandon all those fake friends,
and all these family members 
who make assume I could
be vulnerable with them.
I will put flowers in my hair
every day,
and let sun's rays be my biggest fan.
And finally sit down
surrounded by nature 
no longer needing
them to love me as I am.
Mistress of Words
