Genre: The struggle for Self – love during teen hood
How can one love themselves
When their flaws are constantly pointed out
How can one love themselves
When all they do is doubt
Their every word, every sentence, their entire speech
When their goals seem out of reach
When they are overwhelmed with emotions
Don’t understand the meaning of their creation
How can one love themselves
When they fail to show their real side
Focus on the competition, turn everything into a fight
Think about all the maybes and the mights
How can one love themselves
How can one love themselves
Listen not to those who point out those flaws
Believe in your irrevocable flawlessness
Do not doubt your words, your each sentence
Believe in self-empowerment
Rather, embrace those flaws to find what you seek
Your emotions do not make you weak
For greatness you were created
Let that ’you’ out into the world
Even if you stagger
Don’t stop
Don’t worry about those who you know don’t matter
Even this is a luckless try
It is one of the many broken stones on the cobbled path to self-love
It is the answer to
How can one love themselves
How can one love themselves
