I have hurt myself once again,
It was my heart and worth I couldn't defend.
It's not that I am in love,
I am in love with the thought of being in love.
The idea of not being cared scares me,
But I think, I need to disagree.
Because the problem is not me
And that I can guarantee.
It is time to put myself first
Because the tables are now reversed.
I need more love.
Not from men,
But from myself.
Maybe I am just overwhelmed.
I will bloom because I wanted to
Not because somebody told me to.
I will bloom for myself
and myself only
And that doesn't make me lonely.
I will not bloom for him,
not for her, not for you, not for anyone
I will bloom only for one
And that is me
Myself, and I
No other than.
I will bloom for myself, and myself only
And I will do that slowly but surely.
The moment I knew love was in me,
All i felt was glee.
All along I was looking for love in the wrong place!
I should accept it, embrace and give myself some space.
All I had to do was water it every day,
And have it my way without feeling gray.
Self love isn't selfish,
It is to let yourself relish.
It teaches you things you never knew about yourself
And there, i fell in love with myself.
