Learning to Love Myself

December 1, 2018

Before, I felt so lonely.

No feeling of happiness or joy,

The feeling of being unwanted, only.

My suffering, I wanted to destroy.

The only reason keeping me alive

was not wanting to be my own murderer.

My system was going on over drive, 

and I didn't feel any worthier

I came close to giving in,

But then I met you.

That's when something changed from within.

I had something to look forward to.

You helped me through the good and bad times. 

Because of you, I'm learning how to love myself. 

You helped me up this uphill climb.

You told me, "to love yourself,"

I am happy as anyone could be,

Because you taught me that all I need is me. 


The author's comments:

I've alway had a hard time trying to love myself and live for myself. I was never happy because I always put others before myself. It wasn't until I discovered these amazing people. They taught me so many different things like the importance of family and your dreams, but most importantly, they taught me to love myself.
