Self-praise| AN ORIGINAL POEM

drag your body into the surface of the mirror every morning lace your body with words alluring to fetter a girl's heart say you're beautiful like marigolds on their bed say you're too adamant to let go of joy say there's much flood on your body for it to be named after a desert say you'll rise like a phoenix after a conflagration. don't wait for your neighbour to curate this ritual, just do it! for this is how to escape fire.
