Loving yourself Doesn't mean be self absorbed Doesn't mean be a total **** Because you need to love yourself Loving yourself Is recognizing you're human And that you make mistakes And that it's okay to make mistakes Loving yourself Is when you mess up really bad When you say the wrong things But you go back to try and fix them to validate you're not a piece of **** Loving yourself Means that when you go back and try to fix things And you aren't able to fix things You lift yourself up anyway because you know you tried to fix it Loving yourself Doesn't mean tiptoeing Around what bothers you It means you face your fears and realize it's not the end of the world to fail Loving yourself Is realizing that the first step to success Is failure That falling is good because you try again until you get it right, not give up Loving yourself Is having persistence To prove them all wrong And not get upset when you can't because sometimes you can't Loving yourself Is admiring your trying Because you should be proud that you try to make things right and you try to make things better Not only for me, but for yourself, because it bothers you too, to be so mean Loving yourself Doesn't mean you look down on others It means you accept everybody, even your enemies, those that hurt you You just don't look down on yourself Loving yourself Is when someone tells you you're horrible But you know better than what they say because you know you try and you try so hard You stand tall but Loving yourself Doesn't mean you're better Because everyone is human and you make mistakes too You don't hate on the bullies because they hurt just like you and you won't make the mistakes they do Loving yourself
