"Love yourself ", magical to hear and easy to catch the meaning/
But where do I begin in a world full of itself?/
"Love yourself ", sweet melody to my life when I'm fighting my insecurities./
When I fall ,I'm told to rise/
When I'm lost , I'm told to find my way back/
When I'm hurt , I'm told to forgive/
When I shout too loud, I'm told to keep quiet!/
"Love yourself"
What is this self love all about ?, if I feel entitled in life./
What is this self love about ?, if I'm unable to love others after a fall out./
What is this self love about ?, when the only way to move forward is by victimizing myself./
"Love yourself " , they say
but how they define that *self love* brings out the poetic politician in me./
'Love yourself enough not to criticise others or yourself. Love yourself enough to not let the past steal the present joy.'/
