the art of self love
-
I always ask for other people's happiness.
I always cheer for those people who did their best.
I was there for people
who almost lost everything.
I was there
when they had nothing.
But,
was there someone wishing that I'll be happy?
Was there someone who recognizes my efforts?
Was there someone
consistent with me?
Who's with me - at my best
and my worst?
No one.
No one was there.
No one showed their care.
But that didn't make me sad
That didn't make me mad.
Do you know why?
Because I was told by the sky
that I shouldn't cry.
That I should scream with glee
because I still have myself -
even though
everyone left me.
So, why will you care if others don't believe in you?
You only need yourself to get through.
Embrace yourself.
Love yourself.
Because loving yourself
above anyone else,
is the best feeling
you could ever possess
in this world that is full of distress.
