I will love myself
I will love myself
No matter how hard the day or how
long the night
No matter the mistakes I make or
the stupid things I say
If I eat too much, ice cream or
sushi, and if I don’t exercise
When I stumble and even fall
If I skin my knees, which I do
Drop, break, lose and not
appreciate things
And when I cry
I’ll love myself anyway
Tears black with mascara and eyes
red with shame
I don’t care
I’ll ignore the stares, pick myself
up again and find a way to smile
I’ll love myself
Even when no one else loves me
Or believes
But I believe and I do great
things, even if they’re small
I breathe, and love and support and
try
I can only control myself, my
thoughts…
And seemingly, only seemingly, my
body
But I know that every morning the
world begins anew
And I’ll say a prayer to my God and
breath deeply,
Appreciating my ongoing and never
easy efforts
I’ll love myself this day even if I
didn’t yesterday
With every breathe in, and each one
that exhales out
I know that I’ve got life, deep,
eternal and not so everlasting
With my crazy mind and ever
changing body I still exist
And my heart beats
I breathe
And I want, ever so much
Which is all that matters
Given this wonderful life I’ll
remember
Always
That I should love myself
The only one I can’t escape and
who’ll always be here
For me
The sun will slant, casting its
mysterious glow
Across the scenery unfolding before
me
And I’ll just be
