Love Yourself

I had to learn to love myself.
comfort myself!
Hold on to my dreams.
Avoid my fears and
abandon the pain.
Becoming better no longer
the same.
Speaking my own name!
Making commitments to
myself.
Holding on to my dreams!
Kissing the wind
and echoes greet me in
the afternoon.
Loving me not leaving anytime
Soon!
