Learn to love yourself first
Then you shall know love
And truly love another
Love and hate does not go together
Don't mistake they go on separate ways
Mean same path but opposite always
Only hurt goes together with hate
Though sometimes love can hurt
Breaking the tender heartstrings
Know the feeling of hurt
Learn to appreciate love
Love should not hurt
If you are not afraid to hurt yourself
Tell me how you will hate to hurt another
You have to learn to love yourself first

'If you are not afraid to hurt yourself
Tell me how you will hate to hurt another'..
there is so much wisdom in these lines!
a great write, dear Poet
and it is all, so
infuriatingly simple
we scurry around, in our life
fighting for nothingness
dreaming of dreams
and we chase, despairingly
for what we'll soon forget;
and we ignore, that
which stays with us
every step of our lives
ourselves!
and most of the hate, we
aim at others
is born from our internalised
frustrations
we regress by repressing
being too scared to confront our weaknesses and pain,
so-as to mend and heal
ourselves...
