Love Yourself Completely
Before anyone told you who you were, you were already enough
Before borders named you,
Before history wounded you
You belonged to something ancient and unbreakable
… Remember what runs in your blood
Love yourself completely
Not quietly
Not halfway
(Completely)
You are not less than anyone standing beside you
You carry a questioning fire
You stand with quiet authority
You plant hope where others see dust
You see it
Power is not something you chase
It is something you remember
Love yourself (fully)
Love yourself (boldly)
Love yourself (without apology)
You are not behind
You are not beneath
You are not secondary
You are descended from mountains
From emperors
From liberators
From thinkers who reshaped the earth
Before the world could measure you
You were already enough
- Iyana (select lyrics from ‘Before the World Named You (A Love Letter)’)
