Self Love

Sometimes,

I need to be self-centered.

Sometimes,

I have to prioritize myself over everyone else.

Sometimes,

 I require solitude.

 Sometimes,

 All I want is to be alone.

 I am aware of my worth.

My past is well-known to me. 

I'm aware of my weaknesses.

It's just me,

Who is genuine and uncommon.

I've put forth so much effort

Regarding my betrayal

I've put forth so much effort,

By breaking my heart for others, I am able to help them.

I've put forth so much effort,

When I start to doubt myself 

It's time to call it a day.

Believe

I'm brave enough,

To overcome the difficulties

I am the one who created everything.

My own universe

 I'm the only one who can help,

For all that has happened in my life

I'm going to try to keep my tears at bay.

For the sake of my future happy tears.
