I wrote this poem when I was graduating from the University of East London. We learnt Positive Psychology interventions during the course, and I mentioned some of them in this poem. They are underlined to make it easier for the reader to understand what they were.
My
Unspeakable Self
Is completely in love
With the weather today,
With a bird – little dove.
Self is happy today
I got up with the sun,
Meditated and prayed,
Project writing is done.
I have finished today
Three good things as a step
On my glorious way
To Best Possible Self.
Worked on strengths as I planned
And on lesser ones too,
Thankful letters I sent,
Savored sky in the hue.
Self is glad that I did
Yoga stretches and breath,
Nature walk was a kick
To my overall health.
My well-being’s all right,
What I needed is mine.
Self is sleeping – it’s night.
Let me just waste some time!
