I got the largest bowl, pure white
With its laddle to mix,
Get everything ready....

A little bit of crying,
A table spoon full of self sabotage,
A tea spoon of acceptance,
A packet half filled with self love,
A glass full of water, because u will need it...

Mix,mix again mix
Again cry, cry untill you have your bowl filled to the top,
Drain the extra water,
Add a full packet of self love activities and
Put some music on please,
Move your hips and keep mixing,
There's a lot more on the to do list
But you can't quit...

Remove the leftover teaspoon of guilt,
Remove the self sabotage in bits,
Remove the salt and add the perfect, Amount of sugar to keep you fit...

Mix,mix again mix
The recipe isn't over yet,
There's a secret ingredient
Hidden inside the box of dreams.

You open the box,
There's comes out a gush of air
With nothing inside,
You try to shake and re affirm,
You hear a voice smaller than it should sound,
"YOU" are the secret indgredient...

So, you go ahead mix,mix,mix untill
YOU know it's done,
Untill YOU think its a perfect blend
Of sweetness and grief
In added measures but it
Won't overflow until YOU let it go...
