I Like Myself But…


I like the color of my eyes 

But only when I’m crying

I like my body 

But only when I’m starving

I like my kind heart

I like my attitude

But inside I am dying

I like my laugh

But only when its forced

I like my relationship with the Lord

But it is divorced 

 

I like myself
