Love Myself

They say you gotta face the past, in order to heal

But I don't even know, if any of it's real

They say that pain, erases memories

But what is there to take the pain from me

The therapist said, between childhood and exes

I never learned what love was

My world was torn between here and Texas 

All because I was hurt, so I hurt.. the one's I love 

Lord knows that I've tried 

I've prayed and I've cried 

I've read the book, changed my look

To just another version I hate 

I've loved my friends, and my foes

Even loved the ones I don't know

In hoping to change my fate

I can forgive everyone else 

But I don't know how, to love myself 

I harbor hate, but it's for me

Lord can you please show me

How to love myself
