A relationship with oneself
"Because I love you,
Guilt will fill your lungs and expand your chest
Lust'll become a jealous filled routine
Your subconscious will fall into an abyss of insecurities
I will be your contentment"
...
"Because I love me,
I'll spit up your guilty pleasure and learn to breathe on my own
Self-love'll become the only event on my agenda
My conscious mind will rise to the forefront-
demanding a serious tone as I tell of such content rooted within me"
The path to self-love begins as a seed; rooted with persistency which later blooms at maturity
An effortless act of nature
Yet perceived as a complex act of egotism
Because I love me, I've found contentment within my own company
