An Ode to those who tell me to love myself

They tell me to love myself

that I am a goddess and my body is a temple

so why is it that once I start to worship

they go against their original notion

why is it that when I begin to feel I am beautiful

that they all turn so cynical?

When people tell me to love myself

I dont think they understand that it's not me that has a problem with my body

it's you.
