Some people don’t understand me Yet others just don’t seem to care Friends take the time for listening My family will always be there And yet when I love myself There’s nothing else can compare

About this poem:
Does love for self count for MacDuff's challenge =P
Well, if it doesn't, I'm hopeless!!! Thanks Cloudy for restoring the hope in poetic form that it's OK to love one's self!!

Thanks Swade for you kind comment. Not only do I think it is ok to love oneself I think it is a gift that most people do not give themselves. Who cares about an imperfection of physical being, love the person you are and the one you can become!

Cloudy this looks like clear sky to me. How can one love another if unable to love oneself. Nice.

Hi Cloudy,
The question is...is it sugary sweet love? I agree that every healthy person should have a degree of self love. All of us are the centre of our own little universes and the opposite which is self hate can be completely destructive. An interesting take on this one. Thanks for posting.
