I Ask

With Beauty comes pain

So take me as I am

My eyes didn’t always shine in the sun

They used to cry in the rain

My skin wasn’t always so smooth

It just finally healed from my scars

skinny and soft spoken

Or was I starving and afraid

My heart wasn’t always so wholesome

It used to be in a million pieces

I don’t know love Bear with me

But I know love comes from within me

Self love is important

Needed to know the love I need for self

And the love I need to provide

Self love is important

Needed for the soul, body, and mind

But yet,

You rather me only love you and

Not myself why?

why can’t I love me in the process of loving you?
