The hypocrisy of your thoughts Remembering your own flaws Tear yourself apart so often When you can't even quit your ego Out of relationships, you run Messed up with your own insecurities You want someone to find you perfect Unable to eradicate your own negativities You wish someone could ignore your defect How can you expect love from someone else When your own life is on the broken shelf? You wonder if anybody could ever love you When you cannot even love yourself While you see people smoking and drinking You think they're being so cool Comparing to them, you think you're dumb Unaware that they're the biggest  fools Tired up with your own challenges You want someone to think you're strong Unable to even prove yourself You wish nobody assumes you wrong How can you expect love from someone else When your own life is on the broken shelf? You wonder if anybody could ever love you When you cannot even love yourself You see people who inspire you You watch everything they dare Yet you think you can't do any better It is in you what you're looking out there Torn up with your own failures You want somebody to appreciate you Unable to even accept the challenges You wish to be daring like quite a few How can you expect love from someone else When your own life is on the broken shelf? You wonder if anybody could ever love you When you cannot even love yourself -By Sarah Khan

The Love that you seek is within you!
The hypocrisy of your thoughts Remembering your own flaws Tear yourself apart so often When you can't even quit your ego Out of relationships, you run Messed up with your own insecurities You want someone to find you perfect Unable to eradicate your own negativities You wish someone could ignore your defect How can you expect love from someone else When your own life is on the broken shelf? You wonder if anybody could ever love you When you cannot even love yourself While you see people smoking and drinking You think they're being so cool Comparing to them, you think you're dumb Unaware that they're the biggest  fools Tired up with your own challenges You want someone to think you're strong Unable to even prove yourself You wish nobody assumes you wrong How can you expect love from someone else When your own life is on the broken shelf? You wonder if anybody could ever love you When you cannot even love yourself You see people who inspire you You watch everything they dare Yet you think you can't do any better It is in you what you're looking out there Torn up with your own failures You want somebody to appreciate you Unable to even accept the challenges You wish to be daring like quite a few How can you expect love from someone else When your own life is on the broken shelf?

We've all heard that we should treat others like we want to be treated. But perhaps, we learned the reverse? Maybe, it should say, "Treat yourself with the same love and respect you want to show others." You must check this video on how guilty our thoughts make us. We aspire that people should think we're perfect, yet we're so messed up with our insecurities. We aspire that people think we're strong, yet we don't want to take challenges. We aspire people to love us, yet we can't even love ourselves. So, charity begins at home. Remember, Kim Namjoon had once said, "You're not ugly, you're just born in a judgemental society." We must not create the hypocrisy of our thoughts and think upon our actions the way we want people to think about us and love ourselves, the way we want others to love us.
