I Love Me, Cause He Does Too

A poem about finding a way to love yourself for who you are.

Too many times I look around

And what do I see?

Humans,

Wrapped up in their little worlds,

Dropping their problems here and there,

I see all of the things wrong with the world and I am just tired of it,

People are always looking for someone to blame

People use sin as a way to blame someone

They use their own fears, and misunderstanding to blame people,

They blame the Gays, the blind, the deaf, and the dumb,

And for too long, I myself have fallen victim to these people and their hate, and their own confusion, 

And too often have I almost taken my own life,

Too often have I felt as though I should be dead,

Too often have people like me felt this way,

And today,

Today I say,

No more,

No, 

I won't feel the way you want me to,

I won't change to be something that you see as fit,

I won't be anything that I don't want to be, 

No, you see,

Today,

I woke up,

And I had a single thought,

That one single thought was something so powerful, 

Yet so small,

It was 3 simple words,

I Love Me..........................

And it's not conceded, 

It isn't some way of me saying that I am better and noone else deserves my love,

But it's a way for me to know, 

That no matter what, 

I love me, 

And why do I love me?

Because,

I know that somewhere, 

There is a being that is far beyond anyone's understanding,

And love's you all,

No matter what,

And he loves me too................

The words are true in this poem. You need to love yourself. Be proud of who you are and where you want to be. I like the way you made the poem twist to a ending with wisdom. Thank you for a excellent poem.
