Love Yourself

It’s on repeat over and over in my head

Love Yourself

Two simple words in my head

Love Yourself

“This is the key” they say

Love Yourself

You cannot do anything without loving you first

It should be easy-peasy

It should be lemon-squeezy

Say it to yourself

Write it to yourself

Tell others you believe it

Two simple words

True simple words

I love myself! I say

Out loud to myself

I love myself once more

But for some reason it doesn’t resonate

Not as much as the negative version does

But no one can know

How I fall to the floor

With those two little words

Daily rituals must convince

This broken shell

Break her in until she caves in

To begin Loving herself
