Love Thyself

Loving oneself is key to allowing yourself to love others and be loved!

 

Love Thyself

 

Love Thyself.. find your inside passion;

it can be intense and oh so true.

If you allow it into yourself;

you will never again be alone or blue.

 

Learn to embrace yourself in a mirror;

without a false or plastic mask.

This may sound really simple;

but it is not always an easy task.

 

Always do your best for all others;

don't focus too hard on just a fallen one.

Spread your inside love and passion;

don't  close off.. disconnect and run.

 

Love me don't suffocate grasping me;

although I do like to cuddle at night.

I have other interests I want to persue;

to crush this rose of love just isn't right!!!

 

Communicate is another.. talk, listen be prepared to feel;

It is good to let it out not internalize please share.

 

Use some judgement with some caution;

or you could cause much hurt for the one you care.

Reminds me of Kahlil Gibran words..
"But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls."
Yet you also include the love that unites community and others beautifully!

A very profound a loving write...Just love it!

Disjointed toward the end. But, a positive thinking verse and one to heed at that. Nice work. Thanks

without a false or plastic mask"

I love this poem Lisette. The words really touch the reader inside and helps them to take a good look at themselves and how they see/treat others. There are so many lines that stands out to me but I really love these lines in particular:

"Learn to embrace yourself in a mirror;
without a false or plastic mask.
This may sound really simple;
but it is not always an easy task."

This is so true. Sometimes it's hard to look in the mirror (for whatever reason) and "really" like what we see. Awesome write!

to crush this rose of love just isn't right!!!

Amen! TO this write, I really couldn't agree more. I really like this alot. I don't know why but some people just can hide behind a mask and pretent everything is alright instead of facing the truth. This says so
much and I just adore this piece. It's wonderful
