If people loved themselves more
They would have less angst to endure..
*
It’s easy to latch onto criticism so tenaciously
That you constantly admonish yourself subconsciously
For failing to reach standards you have set high
Your inner monologue tries to imply
That you are unworthy, this message you internalize
It becomes the backstory of your life before you realize
*
You fail in relationships, you find it difficult to excel
At anything you do, you are under the spell
Of self-loathing- how do you learn to give
Love to others when without love for yourself you live?
*
It takes supreme effort to change the monologue in your head
From self-loathing to learning to love yourself instead
But once you start treating yourself with love and kindness
You attract the same vibes- you make real progress
Once you start loving yourself unconditionally
Love enters your life from all directions in reciprocity..
*
It is hard to love yourself in a world that seems to thrive
On keeping our insecurities, our inner critics alive
But if only people would love themselves more
They would attract more love for sure
Passion...unbridled
