Because I Love You ( To Love Yourself)


To love yourself is to love the scars on your hips, and the scabby patches on your knees, to love the bumps, And curves of all your rounded edges. To love yourself is to love your most Wildest dream. to love the way passion plays you, engulfs you, in its untamed waves. To love yourself is to love the Cracking, Conflicting, Controversialness of your soul, that none can accept and none can controll. To love yourself is to respect the morals and truth you hold like jewels, And never sacrificing them to the taunts of those whose has fallen apart. To love yourself is to forgive, to understand, to know that mistakes do not define you that being human will not make love defy you. To love yourself is unconditional not a checklist of requirements or a unsure “if” But a steady stream of kindness and tenderness, Never ending. And, one should always recall To love yourself is to love all.
