Self-love is a very interesting thing.
We learn of being conceited without the name,
We learn of being selfish without a thought.
Yet,
We are told to love ourselves.
How can we do so when loving yourself is
Selfish,
Conceited,
Narcissistic?
Again, self-love is strange.
As a girl,
We have to love ourselves or we spiral
Into eating disorders and weight loss pills.
As a boy,
We learn we are best when we are strong
And our feelings are nonexistent.
For people who are existing with no gender,
We don't learn to love ourselves
Because how can we learn it when there's none in the world for us?
We have to love ourselves.
No matter the difficulties.
I just wish I could learn to love myself
Without killing myself in the process.
