Make Sure You Love You

In the mirror's gaze, a reflection stares
A soul so worthy, yet often unaware
Of the love that's needed, the care that's true
The acceptance that starts with "I love you"

Embrace your flaws, your quirks, your grace
Your strengths and weaknesses, your every trace
Love the lines that tell your story so far
Love the heart that beats, the soul that shines like a star

In a world that criticizes, compares, and judges too
Remember to be kind, to yourself, anew
For you are enough, just as you are
A unique masterpiece, beyond compare

So let the love you seek, begin with you
Embrace your worth, your beauty, your truth
Make sure you love you, with all your heart
And you'll find that love will never depart.
