Love

Author: Abby1963

Wasting time
Hating myself
Never good enough
Tears and tears
Feeling sorry for myself
I don’t deserve anyone
I don’t deserve to be loved
Told as a child all my life
Believed it all of my life
Let it be told
None of that is true
All this time wasted
Love - Love
That’s all I need
To Love myself
First and foremost
The rest of my life will now continue to grow
For I Love - Love myself for the first time ever
What an amazing feeling .

All deserve love however, one needs to consider quality vs quantity. The more selective we get due to past regrets and failed relationships the the value of love becomes less. The more critical we are of ourselves the critical we project it unto others. Many can spend the rest of their lives full of bitterness or forgiveness it's a matter of choice. It's a choice to open the door or close it.

It’s harder and more complicated than you will ever understand I’m not going to try and make you understand . I tried and tried to be the best person I could be. It wasn’t ever good enough I had to re teach myself
to Love - Love myself .

A persons opinion or advice, always gives me angles to look at the situation, and that right now can very well be very helpful to me, so therefore a welcome anyone’s opinion or advice I believe that’s what you get when you post on here.

Ah the healing that comes from beginning to love oneself …may it bring you contentment and joy
Seems you are in a great place now to love and be loved
Great poem

Cat it’s nice to hear from you. You know I write to try to get feelings out here since nobody can see me I know you’ve seen me, but most people don’t know me. I wanna love myself I wanna like myself anyways, I write that poem as a reminder to love myself. Love you.
