I Can Love Me

January 5, 2023

I believed that I was rotten vile, so easily forgotten An evil creature right to the inside Made to be tossed aside It’s so easy to see that no one wants to be around me Broken, disgusting, creepy that’s how I learned to see me But maybe there is something more Maybe I can leap into the sky and soar

Could it be that I’m not broken or awful but instead that I’m bright and colorful? And those insecurities that I’m so afraid of can I replace them with kindness and love? Perhaps it’s time that I accept that I’m worthy of all the love I get If I give myself a chance, then maybe I can finally love me

I’m climbing up from so far down Starting to wear a smile instead of a frown Helped along by the people that love me I’m casting aside fear, learning to be free And the real me that I buried deep inside I’ll let them out with joy and pride I’m beginning to win this fight I can see now that I am beautiful and bright I won’t let anyone make me feel terrible Because now I know that I am special

I am beautiful, I know it’s true The real me can finally shine through And those insecurities I’m afraid to show are just one color in my sparkling rainbow It was always so easy to forget But now I know that I’m worthy of the love I get I’ve opened my eyes and at last I see that I can love me

I’m appreciated, a good person Worth loving, worth believing in To so many, a special friend Kind and loving to the end I am a shining beacon of starlight So happy to share my beautiful light

I finally understand what others have been trying to tell me and now at last I

I love me
