Allowing myself to love me, damn what a feeling
No longer taking cards, I’m dealing
Never thought the shit would feel so good
Can’t believe I’ve waited so long to try it
Yes I am humbly feeling myself, I’m not trying to deny it
Knowing that I’m broken but understanding that I am still functional
Allowing myself to be open and loving that misery is not a life sentence but is optional
Telling myself that I am beautiful and believing it
No longer waiting for “him” to tell me, this new love I’m feeling it
Better than that late night text
Better than a stranger’s empty sex
Better than being noticed by others
Better than praise from your mother
I’ve given myself the power to love me
I’m so moved by this it is truly a super power
I could cry
I can’t believe how long I’ve denied myself this gift and now I don’t even have to try
Don’t have to try and convince
No longer letting unworthies in only to dismiss
Self love is the best love and I can say I’ve never felt this good about me
Rolling with the punches
Taking the hits
Understanding life is full of disappointments and truly understanding this will provide me a shortcut to bliss
Giving out fractions of myself
Fragments of my heart
And pieces of my mind
Only to walk away empty handed is no longer a lifestyle of mine
Now realizing my worth
Recognizing what I deserve
Although 19 years of its absence may seem long
I understand that I’m still young and can now begin a life of fulfillment instead of just drudging along
A love synonymous with acceptance
Ok with my imperfections
I AM ENOUGH,
Enough for me
Mistakes by the plenty
Lessons in the many
Loving me is the best decision I ever made
Aside from the “me” I pretend to be
Aside from the “me” I allow you to see
Forget rejection, you can’t lose anything you don’t have
Forget the unsolvable equation
The answer is you
You are the square root
Forget feeling empty and alone
We’ve all been there and done that
Forget being broken, we’ve all been hurt
Forget self-pity we’ve all got some dirt
Forget self doubt, somehow we gonna make this shit work
Forget failure it’s just a checkpoint on the road to success
You learn how to love yourself first and without effort you will teach the rest
Do not sell yourself for the notion of love from another
You will find the bids are never high enough
Keep your standards and maintain your grounds
Soon enough the right people will come around
We’re all needy but learn the difference between that and being greedy
Love is a big business
They made you feel like you gotta have it
And unless it’s from another human being it doesn’t count
Reconsider that message, take the love you have for yourself, and learn how to multiply that amount
Hold the judgment and open the doors in your mind, crack open the windows in your heart
This is truly where it starts
Humility, compassion, and vulnerability
Does not make you weak
Live your life with meaning and fuck what they think
I am already Complete, anything else is just complimentary
Loving me daily and loving me truly
In the absence of doubt and skepticism, my love is raw
Call me Oly the Tiger, she finally put Life in perspective, this Life is more than good it's GRREAT!

ReplyDeleteThis was CRAZYYYY deep. It is so full of truth and it goes to the core of such deep things that I think some may lose the message, just seeing or reading what may seem to be a simple "love oneself" message, but this goes deeper than that. Your words strike the core of the matter: "Love is a big business
