learning to love me

Learning to love me,  

All the thoughts swimming in my head,  

I don’t know what to believe:  

Seeing the worst of yourself  

Knowing all your deepest thoughts   

So, how am I supposed to love me?  

  

How do I look in the mirror when I can’t even face myself,  

When I don’t know who I’m supposed to be loving,   

What their favorite color is,  

Or what they want to be?  

I stare into the mirror.   

Look into my eyes and just think   

How do I learn to love me.
