She's hiding behind makeup
But through her orbs you can see everything

For the first time in a while,
I was able to look at myself
and think, I love you.

Think about your self less
and your community more
plant the seeds of success
that open prosperity's door.

Sometimes,
we are scared of letting someone in
because we don't want to entangle them in our chaos.

Sometimes,
we fear to reach out for the hand of others
while we are drowning
because we don't want to pull them in.

Sometimes,
we are scared to cling on to the hearts of others,
because we don't want to leave them scarred.

Sometimes,
we scarred to get close,
because we will push them away
and it is just unfair.

Sometimes,
we are so willing to be destroyed
by the pain within us, than to destroy anyone else.

Love yourself,
so you can love others better.

Trust yourself,
so you trust others better.

Take care of yourself,
so you can take care of others better.

Be kind to yourself,
so you can be the same towards others.

Do it for yourself,
because self less
without self
just leaves you with less.

When we don't receive attention
from someone,
we search for it in others.
But rarely choose to look
for it in ourselves.

easier said than done
to just trust someone
how am i supposed to know
if you're the one?
