Loving Yourself


before anything else, i love myself first.

 

to prevent the beginning of an unhealthy relationship,

 

i dive into accepting myself headfirst.

 

before you can love someone in a zip,

 

you must stare at yourself in the mirror with so much love that you almost burst.

 

unhealthy relationships stem from an abusive partnership,

 

and these people feel as if they’re cursed.

 

if you wholly believe in yourself with a tight grip,

 

you wouldn’t have to prepare yourself for the worst.

 

control your mind with a sense of leadership,

 

and never let your heart be coerced.

 

believe in yourself, for i can only give you this tip,

 

just please, love yourself first.
