Love Yourself

Don't hate the stars for their beauty Don't hate the sun when it doesn't shine Don't estimate someone's strength Until you've seen them cry Don't look for reasons to mourn Look for reasons to rejoice Instead of closing your mind Consider each and every choice Don't hate the sky for raining Instead ask the clouds why they cry Don't take the light inside yourself Distribute it to the sky Never hide your inner beauty To please everyone else Gather your pride and shine it bright And go on loving yourself
