Poem: Isn’t it interesting

Isn’t it interesting.

Isn’t it interesting
to realise
you can be nice without the self-sacrifice.

Isn’t it interesting
to no longer want
to be palatable to everyone.

Isn’t it interesting
that I have
been denying myself the experience of being human;
flawed
unpredictable
more than just ‘nice’.

Isn’t it interesting
to start;
prioritising yourself
saying no
setting boundaries.

Isn’t it interesting
that if you do that
it is all ok - it is more than ok.

Take this as a reminder.

Would it not be interesting
to see what happens when you;
love yourself - even the shadows
prioritise your joy
stop worrying about being nice at your own expense.

You are more than just ‘nice’
Isn’t that interesting.
