Teach me how to love myself

Hold my hand and lead me through it

I slip and fall, landing hard

A toddler learning how to walk

Once again

lead me through the steps

Explain to me the directions

Teach me how to grow,

teach me how to never give up

teach me that I can achieve anything

Bad habits are hard to break

Place your finger on my lips

Silencing my self hate

As hateful words come from my mouth,

abusing the image I see in the mirror

And hold me as I crumble and break

For my tears,

Breaking free from their cage

You call me strong

I call myself weak

Once again my hate is silenced

Teach me how to love myself

Hold my hand and work with me

through this problem

Till we get a solution

Add the numbers together

Till we get through it

This is solvable,

I'm finally learning again
