i have found to be
that love is not
as cruel as people
make it out to be.
that although
painful, it is
worthwhile
to have love.
the love that
you have for
yourself,
within
y o u r s e l f .
the love for
yourself
that carries you
and takes you
across oceans.
a type of self-love
that no one can
take away,
no matter who
comes along.
a love for
yourself
that is worth
breathing in
and living.
a self-love that
you will wade for.
Beautiful, real, and raw. Love this! It is so important for people to read your work you’re an inspiration to many and will continue to inspire so much more. Proud of you !

Your poetry is unlike anything I have ever encountered. It so honest that it cannot help but move you. There is such a sense of connection. Sorry, I get emotional. Stopping now.. Love you ❤

Beautiful! There is so much truth to these words. Self-love is soooo critical– it makes me sad when people can’t attain it, or elect not to. 😦 I hope that anyone who reads this and lacks self-love will come to a realization that they need to work for it. Love is so important.

thank you! it took a long time for me to obtain this and sometimes i have days where i still struggle with myself. but like you said, work for it. and also learning to put your needs first.

Learning to put your needs over others can be so challenging. I don’t even realize I’m ignoring myself until it’s too late, often. Inner awareness does not come easily and requires work. We’ll both get there some day, I hope.
