From Loving myself To Loving You


I hated me, my body, smile, voice

one would say I was lost 

but I grew up and realized there was more to me

at times I would cry silent tears because I wasn't Ashely or Bianca

but I met friends and realized everyone is unique and so am I 

awhile it did take me to love myself and the body I was born with and

the scars that followed looking back my self love brought me to our love

I met you and I already knew who I was there was alot of buzz in my head

saying not to give you all of me but my heart didn't even skip a beat it said

I Love myself so let me show you some love

instead of crying a river I cried a fountain
