Self-love is Love

When The Sun Won’t Shine,

And You Can’t Find Your Smile…

When The Hurt Won’t Subside,

And There Is No Where To Hide…

When Your Soul Is Searching For Colors,

But You Only Find Blue...

In A Hard Reality,

When Your Covered In Lies,

Trying To Get The Naked Truth…

❣️

Self-love Is The Most Selfless Thing

You Can Ever Do...

Self-love Is When You Get About Starting To Discover You...

❣️

Departed For A Greater Life ✨️, I Sailed ⛵️ Years From The One's Whom I Used To know...

Desolation Is My Reality 🩶 Far From Being Captive...

I Stand, Emancipated and Prolific, Because

Drowning In The Dreams of Someone Else,

Can't Save You...

❣️

Self-love Is The Most Selfless Thing You Can Ever Do...

Self-love Is When You Get About Starting To Discover You.

    Good job and how true you write. For you cannot love anyone else till you truly love yourself.

    "Drowning in the dreams of someone else can't save you." Great lines. So many people are dissatisfied living lives they never wanted or dreamed of, but are too afraid to part with, because of the disappointment they would be surrounded by. Expectation is a cruel mistress. 👏👏👏
