The Path to Love Another is Self-Love

Tue, 11/07/2017 - 10:46 -- erose18

 

Relationships are partly intrinsic

An attraction of the unconscious mind

But mostly I am fighting the cynic

Turns me to fear, and love it renders blind

 

Insecurities are enemies

The root of someone’s violence and pain

We need to put aside these enmities

To save loved ones from their worry and strain

 

The distrust coming from internal fear

That even my beloved cannot mend

May separate me from those I hold dear

Into negativity I’ll descend

 

The path to love another is self-love

To reach the wholesome person you dream of
