Learning to Love Me
A duet by Joshua Theodorus Kurnia and Jasmine Lawrence
Sleep is always the first to go
Late nights behind a blue screen glow
Hazy mind on beautiful days
Anxiety creeps through sunny rays
Next, my diet turns to crap
Burgers, pizza, stuff like that
When a smile of course is forceful
And tears are not so delightful
So I step outside to think
Worries fade and troubles shrink
As the city streets I roam
I see that I am not alone
Have a bath and glass of wine
With a friend go out to dine
Afternoons on redwoods strolls
Spa days to restore my soul
Now I’ve balanced life and work
Turned my frown into a smirk
And centered myself I feel
Sharing love helps my self heal
See the blessings from above
Honor my self with a little self-love
Life has not one moment to spare
Carry yourself with a lot of self-care
