I Shall Love Me

Teddy.15

 
And In the end 
I've come to realise 
there's nothing I can do
to make you love me more,
as I love you unconditionally 
the love you give back 
shouldn't be a favour from you 
of accepting it, so I shall no longer try to satisfy your loves tease 
 
instead...
 
I shall love my own self.

    A wonderful message my friend one can never love out of obligation or pity only naturally and one must always love oneself first for with out loving oneself one can not love another. Well written and a fave

        Teddy, this really touched me. There's something deeply freeing about reaching the point where you stop chasing love that has to be earned and begin giving that same care to yourself. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            There's certainly nothing wrong with having a little love for yourself Shirley.
