When I was young I wanted to fall in love,
with an epitome of beauty,
with a smile so bright of this person so nice,
as close to angelic as can be!
As I grew I found this girl,
a splitting image of my dreams!
But as I got closer my dreams seem to shatter,
she wasn't as perfect as I wanted her to be!
I wanted her to be as refreshing as a daisy is in summer days,
a beauty that doesn't fade with time,
one that others cant quite define.
I wanted her to be brave,
which she was throughout the day,
but the wet pillow by her bedside,
knew the tears that were laid!
But one day her courage was tested,
her dream kept as a prize,
but that was the day she didn't give up,
Oh! the fight was such a sight!
That was the day I truly fell in love,
Thanking her to still be alive!
I, me, myself however selfish it sounds,
is the first love I learnt to define!
This is how my journey of self love began,
no, it doesn't end here,
there still would be times when I hate myself,
but that would just make my love stronger!
And here I am taking adieu,
with a message, 'learn to love youself for sure',
'Cuz till the day you can't define self love,
how will someone else be dear?
