They say the greatest gift is life.
But I believe we need love to survive.
We run looking for it from someone else.
When were missing it within ourselves.
We cry on our knees to God,
begging him for someone
so that we can be held, and touched,
and kissed.
But the real love that we should be first searching for within ourselves is something we've missed.
We lack this type of love,
we forget about ourselves
just to please someone else.
We treat them like kings and Queens
even though we see the red flags.
We sit and allow ourselves to get hurt.
We don't realise it but sometimes we treat ourselves like old rags.
We need to stop feeling insecure
and love ourselves even more.
Relax and take sometime to please your own mind.
So that you can love yourself unconditionally!
Self love will set you free from your insecurity.
But really,
it's time you face the truth.
If you don't know how to love yourself,
how are you going to be able to love someone else?
