Why is it so easy
to hate myself
then love myself?
Lessons in self love
were lacking
whereas lessons
in hurting myself
were bountiful
Better to hurt yourself
than others,
Yes, that was the motto
I grew up with
A lesson well learned
I have become an Artiste
in the lesson of self hatred
One lesson I pray to unlearn
but fear it is too ingrained
