Know Your Worth

Guard your heart 

from those, 

who love you 

only for their benefit.

Those who 

value your time

only for convenience.

 

Walk away 

from those

who steal your 

precious peace. 

That of the mind 

appraises above all.

 

Never settle for less 

than your due,

that will diminish 

your view 

of your intrinsic value…

never ending 

in appreciation.

They know your worth; 

play no fool.

 

You are the light,

the truth.

Nurtured by

the sight

of God.

 

To love yourself, 

is to propose to God

with vows

in the form of

displays of 

self-affection.

In return  

expect an infinite yes. 

 

anyone who disagrees

is to stay 

as far away 

as possible 

from your peace, 

your time,

and 

your love.
