Love Yourself

No one can love you unless you do first
Love yourself, for what this is worth
I'm not sure why but, it happens each day
Individuals seem to just through love away
You can't receive or accept what you feel isn't deserved
The thought that anyone could love you is so absurd
The thought that someone could accept or embrace
This monster that hides behind your face
Unworthy of your own love and acceptance
Why should you trust anothers affections
You're so terrible that no one could possibly love
This person so underserving, so you shove
As foolish as this line of thinking is
This is how many unnecessarily live
Despising, hurting and hating who they are
To the point of isolation, But, the door is ajar
If you begin to allow yourself to love you
Then soon others may enter into
That zone where you used to hide all alone
To feel safe and protected will be gone
