I'm trying to love ones self
Trying to love ... myself?
I don't know what that is
Don't know how to make myself smile like the sun smiles for the moon
Don't know how to hold myself for comfort like the stem to a flower
Don't know how to hold my own hand and follow a path I built for one self
Don't know how to make one self laugh not genuinely anymore
Tired of the lonesome nights I hold myself just to feel alright
Tired of the endless abyss of conversations I have with myself that are pointless like a broken pencil
How do I love one self
Give myself energy throughout the day
Recharge my own battery
Fill my own negative brain with such positive knowledge
How can I smile at a mess I'm scared of
Like a flower scared of blossoming
I try to refill my own cup
But can't help to spill it in the process
A broken cup just trying to be whole again
Trying to learn how to love every piece back together
A cat with a yarn ball
Chasing self love only to throw it again
How can I touch a scared body and love everything I'm touching
How do I feel beautiful
Inner beauty
How do I smile on the Inside
How do I marry myself
All these question I wish someone could answer
How do you love a negative mind into a positive one
A broken soul
Into a whole one
A wounded heart
Into a healed one
How do I "self love"
