Love Yourself

How you gonna love someone else? But you can't love yourself You can't even look in the mirror at yourself You can't even tell yourself that your pretty and you love yourself But you can look at him n tell him he's handsome and you love him How could you? How do you think he's gonna love you right When you don't know what love really is You have to accept yourself Before you think he's gonna accept you for you You have to show yourself that you love you You have to care about you first Before you can love and care for someone else in specially a nigga You have to come first before anyone else You have to care for your own needs You have to rely on yourself before you rely on anyone else

Great message, Kierra,, Welcome to Poetry soup I hope you enjoy the community. You'll find friendly poets who are ready to support and give positive feedback. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Other than that I will read, enjoy and comment with positive feedback. Remember, keep posting, stay in touch, TAP my shoulder when you have a new poem. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. You might find my support addictive. I've been a SOUP Poet for 6 years. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. I'm from Texas, How about you? Tell me a little about your poetic skills. I will enjoy following you and your poetry :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
