Listen


Listen.

You are as beautiful as you say you are.

so do me a favor and look in the mirror.

and love yourself unconditionally.

not like last night's date night.

Another one is sure to come.

love yourself for eternity

like your mother & your baby feet

love yourself for everything that you are

love you for you and only you.

 

Listen.

You have a purpose in this world.

One that nobody else posses.

you live with a purpose

one that can never be duplicated.

one that can never be imitated.
