I asked myself to love myself,
But the closest I got was far from that
I only learned to hate myself
The fear ate my insides,
The waves crashed against my brain
Washing away any good thoughts.
That seemed to flow in and out,
Like the tide pulling in, just to wash out.

You asked me to love myself,
I got closer than before,
I learned to love myself.
I learned my value and worth
I learned I can be lovely

You too, can be lovely
