Love Yourself

Don't listen to what they all say.

It's only to bother you anyway.

Loving yourself is more than enough,

even if your past is rough.

I know it may seem hard right now.

I don't even know how,

how do I even begin?

Is it all from deep within?

My Inner Demons

They try to push me down,

six feet deep inside the ground.

No matter how much I cry,

I will be sure to continue to try.

Life keeps feeling like hell,

but I will keep seeking help.

It's hard to stay clean

with only a few months in between.

*No matter what you're feeling, just remember that you are never alone, even if the voices in your head say otherwise.*
