i want to fall in love with myself
but i always seem to come acrosss
a simple flaw among my living
that makes me dislike me even more
perhaps
i should not let the flaws define me
yet instead allow them to inspire me

the prized image of me
deserves more respect
from not the world
but my own self
because i am my own enemy

i need more of myself
to fall deeply in love
with everything about me

you tell me not to rush
time is slowly for perfection
but time is ticking fast
and i have no other choice
but to fall in love with you

have you told yourself
i love you
in the mirror staring
because you are gorgeous
and you must see for yourself

my body is the purest element
that i can protect greatly

dressed in shining armor
i only let the right ones in

because my youth
is the most vulnerable gift
that i can easily destroy
through the devil's temptation

make sure you have not forgotten
you
are the greatest masterpiece created
with delicate care from precious time
you
are my reminder for me to acknowledge
love from one to another is attractive
