self love

people always count their failures
they count their mistakes and their flaws
they always worry about others thoughts instead of their own
they always worry about accommodating another,

rather than thinking for themselves
your mind, and your body
wow they're perfect

we are our own biggest critics
we judge and we hate
but there's so much to love
to enjoy

we worry so much about impressing others,
we forget to please ourselves
to remember ourselves

love is such a big thing in life
and yet so little of it is shared
instead hate is passed around like cake at a birthday party
and the candles are our own mind
being blown away, by a single person

that cake always tastes so sweet
and yet we always feel sick after eating to much
our mind feels rotten after hearing the same thing over and over

please
love yourself
for you are your own, and your mind should not be ruled by another person
