Love Self

Make self able to be loved again

By Ekta K. Kalra Published 2 years ago 2 min read

i know every inch

of ground floor

i researched it fresh

in my mind as whole

but what if I still don’t walk

I need to be conversant

to my role

do not waste life

anymore

I am working from

place to place

who says I don’t fear

blows

I am a human

at the end of the day

not storm

making it’s own way

hurt by adversity

hit by few

how much I am lost

in my days of roof

aloof

aloof

not without a reason

I am aloof

though loneliness built me

strong

but the reason behind it

some day

was it

as the only route

was it

as the only route

but now I tell you

I rejoice alone

I rejoin to self

daily as my goal

I wake up early

not just for pending work

I wake up early

to be with self

a little more

how much I value

myself

more and more

in my life’s goal

how happy I am

when alone

misfit results in crowd

spreads in lonely homes

but I tell you I gathered

love

self love

much much more

for now I realise

true

my life’s role

love is for worship

love is my goal

self love

makes you live

no other way

can anyone

ever be alive

they say self love

is cheap

I say what more riches

cannot do

for your health

for your mind

that floor for crops

only self love can reap in

realise it within

feel it deep

without self love

no man

no woman

can ever live

for a child is born

that way

why do you change

why do you change

self love is worship

anyway

come acknowledge

your self love

don’t suppress it

any way

it’s natural

it’s there

don’t deny your place

as self love

is the only human race

for he who cannot love

self

will deny helping the world

the link begins from you

self love is for worship

anyway

it’s deep in you

just smell it any part of day

don’t ever dare to deny self

you can fall straight

love self

and make self able

to be loved again
