Self Love


It teaches you who you are

And shows you what you’re becoming

The foundation

To healthy relationships

So that you’re not left there stumbling

There’s only one person I’ve ever fallen in love with

I’ll let you take a guess 

It’s not girl, boy, or friend 

It’s me I’ve found happiness

It may sound conceited 

But let me tell you my reason

How are we supposed to love someone else

Without truly knowing and loving yourself
