self-love
Self-love is the main attribute in maintaining healthy relationships
it is the aspect of allowing freedom,
trust and
acceptance
none of that bullshit you see that is script,
censorship
companionship abandonment occurs when one lacks sufficiency
break down walls just to tear apart hopes and dignity
that’s a symptom of mental deficiency,
ya see?
I too was guilty of bigotry,
slamming love and played the green-eyed
replaced joy with instant gratification
then a moment I felt to abide
it is not the presents
or words that was declared
for true intimacy
was never shared
constant scolds
and uncertainty
absence of consistency
undeviating past compares
who was I to him that he did not care?
Obsession with self-revision
changed my ways
and my hair
still
I don't think he was aware
nothing I do
can repair
then I began to unravel the knots
I remember everything my mama taught
I swear for a moment there was clarity
all along
the enemy was inside of me
no self-love
has brought me here
I allowed him to be my puppeteer
from now on I will adhere
to the actions that made it all clear
self-love will compose unconditional love
never feeling unworthy of,
impatient of or
permitting of
coherence of love
will no longer seem translucent
when one possesses this trait
trust me
for I have awaited
and created
the perfect love
with my forever roommate
