Celebrating the Self

Author: Bethany Creative Writing Group

I celebrate myself and sing
At long last life has a reason to be celebrated.
Being grateful that I’ve had the friends
I’ve had throughout the years.
Although at times the song is muted.
An opening and a closing of life’s doors.
For so very long I punished myself
Now I look at myself in another way
like night and day, I can accept
myself, and sing!
