Self Lover
At first you were my enemy
You always sent words of hatred and discouragement my way
It was so easy for you
Easy for you to call me fat
Easy for you to call me worthless
Easy for you to call me unloved
And it was easy for me to believe it
I am ashamed to say I ever listened to you
You never thought about how those words would affect me
Instead of uplifting me, you always let me fall
I fell down deep into your pit of darkness.. until I saw the gleam
Like a moth to a flame, I was attracted to the vibrant light
It told me that I was beautiful
It told me I was capable of amazing things
It told me I was loved
I realized that in my mind, I was both the darkness and the light
I was both my enemy and lover
The more self love I accept, the brighter the light shines through
For I am my life, my light, and my lover
