It Took Me Awhile To Love Myself Again

It took me awhile to love myself again Written By Dean Masciarelli Tuesday, March 30, 2010 It took me awhile to love myself again So that other people could love me in return And now that I have gotten through the most difficult moments I have had enough time to reevaluate everything And I have done some fine tuning And a few adjustments here and there And the whole process has made me a better person Because I can love myself just as I am But I have also learned how to accept the things that I cannot possibly change By allowing myself to look forward So that I can focus on those things that can have a positive outcome Because it will make a significant difference in this life of mine By leaving my past behind and not looking back again Because I have had plenty of time and the opportunity and the freedom To discover who I am all over again So that my life can ultimately be more fulfilling and truly rewarding in the long run

It is not easy to leave the past behind, it has a way of creeping back when you least expect it. Your wonderful poem is so inspiring, words to live by. I want to thank you so much for your sweet and amazing comments on my poetry. You really made me feel fantastic, and you are right, I am a woman, with red, spike heels, and long raven hair... love Constance
