They say to love yourself
But HOW ? is what I ask,
How am I supposed to like someone who is causing me so much pain,
How am I supposed to love someone who maybe is just making everyone worry about them,
I see in the mirror feeling nothing,
Missing the person who used to look back at me with a proud smile,
How am I supposed to bring back someone whom I broke,
How am I supposed to love when I forgot to love,
How am I supposed to love when I don't recognise the person in front of me,
When I crushed the very person,
When the person looking at me is someone who has lost his hopes and dreams and that too may be because of me,
When the reflection staring back at me doesn't seem like me,
Even the body feels different and not good enough.
Not good enough not the face, not the body, not the mind, not the soul nothing good enough,
How do you like the person who is scarring his soul?
But still,
But still, I will try,
It's a long journey and hard to complete without loving yourself,
I will try to love myself,
Try to be the person who used to proudly smile at his reflection,
It might take time, but I will be patient,
I will be patient because if I can love others, I deserve it too,
I will be patient because that's how, I am going to heal.
