Love Itself; Myself; Yourself

Jamtots • 454 followers

You look in the mirror
And you see yourself
You hate what you see
And all it contains
Wishing to be different
Is what you plea
Love for oneself
Is not within you
Hate for yourself
Is all that is true

But you are full of love
All you do is love
You love
Your loving family
You love
Your loyal friends
You love
Your favourite TV show
You love
When wounds mend
You love
The taste of ice cream
You love
When you are loved
You love
When you dream
You love so much
You love when love hurts
You love the love itself
It's all you know
And all you've seen
But ask yourself this:

What's love
Got to do
With it
When you
Don't love
Yourself?

Stuck In The Dark

Soul lays empty,think of the past,. Wishing for things not meant to last,. Why can't you move on and focus on what's ahead,. Instead of sitting in misery and despair instead,.

Heavy heart, I left the room. It felt as though I knew my doom. Heavy heart, tears of pride. Do you know you're why I cried. Heavy heart, but it's set in stone. Nothing to be done. I'm all alone.
