Love yourself when no one can,
Be positive thats the plan,
Emotions you cant explain,
No one understands this drowning pain,
followed by your hidden fears,
seeking out those meaningful tears,
Love yourself because you can,
Not because someone else tells you they can’t,
LOVE YOURSELF FIRST, AND THEN YOUR HEART
WILL MAKE ROOM TO LOVE THE REST OF THE WORLD
(IUST MY THOUGHTS)
As the hands strike hours of midnight,
A new self you invent in all your might,
A year older I am expected to act therefore,
But I still remain all the years l've lived before.
If you look close enough all the way through,
You shall find a five year old just as much as a twenty two.
FORGIVING THE REFLECTION
I forgive you after all these years
For I've found something to stop the tears,
I forgive you for causing me so much pain
And for making me feel like I was going insane.
I forgive you for never accepting love
For when it got close you pushed and shoved,
I forgive you for telling me I was never good enough
Never smart or pretty, I’d always have it rough.
Telling me I would never have what it takes
And destined to constantly make mistakes,
Yes I forgive the reflection in the mirror
For my purpose now is so much clearer.
Jesus forgave my every wrong
So I could now grow up strong,
He came to storm the gates of hell
So that through His forgiveness, I could forgive myself
Love yourself everyday, don’t put yourself last.
Love yourself with good care, pay attention to all that you hold near and dear.
Life is precious, God told us of the Lion that prowls the earth trying to eat us.
Life is like being in a walk through the valley of death, because we are trying to walk in peace yet are sometimes surrounded by negative forces.
Love yourself with awareness, stay alert, trust God, and never give up.
Love yourself more than wealth, put health before wealth, making you be rich in health ways, which may make you live longer and happier for all your years.
Love and life and happiness are all intertwined, so take good care of yourself and walk with good care.
Lifting prayer to God, today and always.
Inspired by... You. Love yourself. You are beautiful. You are Eternal.
Love yourself

It's there in your smile
The twinkle in your eyes
It's there in your Soul
The luminosity of your Light
You are beautiful
An Eternal cosmic being
You are radiant
Starlight and Stardust freed
Love yourself, my friend
Love yourself, pure and true
Love yourself, forever
Love yourself, be you
It's there in your voice
The passion you express
It's there in your choices
The way you walk and dress
You are powerful
You have courage and support
You need to believe, not doubt
You are safe from dusk till dawn
God's Angels are with you
They help you on your Path
They'll protect and guide you
All you have to do is ask
So...
Love yourself, my friend
Love yourself, pure and true
Love yourself, forever
Love yourself, be you
Love yourself, be brave
Love yourself, be strong
Love yourself, be authentic
Love yourself, you belong

My loves, please love yourself first.
Make yourself a priority.
Plan for all your dreams.
Don’t give away your light and dreams.
Make all of life like a dream.
Filled with love and memories that will last a lifetime.
Shine your light so bright that your heart will stay warm for life.

Don't declare your love with all your heart
Some people even give their lives for it
All your heart is truly just a sweet part
Remember, love for yourself has no limits
To declare you love with all your spirit
When you’re young, you forget to explore
As you grow older, having a loving kid
Love will be shared with the little newborn
Loving others means sharing your mind
To heal, you must follow your prescription
This effort is for yourself and must define
Love yourself to align with self-intention
To extend your lifespan, nourish your body
Love yourself first before sharing widely
Love Yourself and Always Stay Positive
For you have to start being your best friend
Before You Can Be true to Any Others
It'll be this way til the very end
Be accepting of yourself, it's true
And feel your self-esteem rise, it will make you feel brand new
Always be open to the warm feelings people give you
Only a few special people will be able to do to you what they do
Sometimes bad situations get in the way
But alot of positive things will happen, just pray
And keep these positive reminders in your head
That the road looks good ahead.
The night moves so slowly in an undulating slither
When you’re waiting anxiously alone in the dark,
Wondering where he is tonight, as if it really matters.
Your sacred beliefs about love will never be the same.
You feel you’ll never know how to truly trust again.
It’s too frightening to leave, too painful to stay
When your deceived and broken heart leads you astray,
Waiting for the next soul wrenching sin.
In the season of silence when no answers can be heard
You cannot even tell yourself the truth.
You simply wait, believing your heart-numbing death is near.
It's another wretched love affair, dripping with lies and satire.
It’s not worth your time; not worth your tears.
The lesson lies so deep inside, where your illusions will not go.
Betrayal is an icon of mastery used to steel your soul.
See it for what it truly is and no longer blame yourself.
There is a purer love that rises above the pettiness of this world.
The lesson is Learn to First Love Yourself. It frees you to carry on.
loving yourself is not easy
you have to lose yourself first
in something you adore
a hobby that you can do by yourself
something that engrosses you
that you can do for eight hours
eight hours?
yes!
at least, maybe more
I can draw cartoons for eight hours
I can paint for eight hours
I can write poetry for eight hours
There are lots of things I cannot do for eight hours
Those are things that do not help me love myself
Knowing this, I concentrate on the things I adore
The hobbies that I can do
by myself, with myself
and for myself
If you have not found these hobbies yet,
it is time to get started.
When you do not know just who it is that you want to be,
Now is the best time to learn to love all of which you see.
After all self-love is the only way for you to be set free.
Don't compare yourself with others
For neither high nor low,cheers
Up standing for the sun in the sky
And looking down at the earth for why
Being a thinker not for a statue, vividly
Moving back to fro to chase yourself,silly
In the eyes of passers-by leading empathy sigh
Or leaking a reluctant contempt and hide
Be fair with self-love and self-respect
For seeing his nodding head at your cool
And for his fragrant blessing and his glad
Be loving yourself on the creator's behalf
Come on, trust me, and trust you
Without a doubt, you are a unique soul
