Self Love

Is cheesy in a modern sense

“Just love yourself”

Sounds so easy

So simple

So vanilla

What about those who long for spice

For a swift kick in the ass

For a moment of pain to find pleasure?

Are we never to self love?

Or are we here to self inflict?

To me, self love is to be great

THE greatest

You can be

It’s romantic

And a dream

Is every romantic seeking to fall in love

With oneself?

However unable to

Due to perfectionist tendencies

Blinded by the beauty

In which it is humane

Are perfect romantics cursed

With a hopeless life?

Constantly chasing a glimmer

Of hope

To see a spark and swoon

When the light within

Is all and is

The answer

To all of the

dreams.
