Ramblings part 20

Do you love who you are today?

Did you wake up and give yourself a hug?

If not then why not?

What about you do you not live?

~

I've looked back on my life

Filled with injury, struggle, and strife

I've lamented that these things happened

But then they made me who I am today

~

I couldn't always say I loved myself

Actually many days I woke up with absolute hate

I'd cover with a smile and a narcissistic nod

To the person I wanted them to think that I was

~

That hatred leaked out

Into everything I did

Every interaction began to sour

All because I didn't love myself

~

But today I woke up and I loved myself

For the first time in a really long time

I looked at what I didn't like

And finally had the courage to admit that it was my own fault

~

So if you wake up and you love yourself

Don't lament the past

Don't forget your mistakes or who did you wrong

But learn from them and forgive but don't forget

~

If you wake up and you hate yourself

Still don't lament the past

The only way is forward by fixing what you hate

Little by little as long as there's progress

~

One day you'll get there

So hold the course and stay steady

And remember you don't have to go it alone

But first you'll have to talk

~

You'll have to bare your soul

And show your weakness

And sometimes it won't work out

But trust me when I say there are people out there

Who will offer you an ear, a hug, and a hand

Loving yourself isn't easy. It's a thing you'll go through every day. Especially if you spent a long time not loving yourself. But with time it will get easier. So just keep moving forward.
