Love Yourself
Is indeed the undefined-
Yet, the defined recommendation of so many
Who say all too familiar phrases like "Go on a trip, to the spa, or treat yourself to a new pair of shoes"
The initial response is always a socially responsive smile-
Followed by the true response feeling that these are great suggestions
But they seem to provide fleeting rewards
So, the true question becomes
How do we get to the point of loving yourself
In a world of reinforced ambiguous messages
Trapped in emotion filled with bouts of happiness
Stiffled by thoughts of incompleteness?
Only to search for positive reinforcement
Through love and lust manifested in fleeting connections
Unable to identify the root-cause of the rain
Or, unwilling to confront the pain?
Often there's a direct correlation between the pain -
The lack of strength and an un-identifiable solution
Push! Push through each day
Each day that turns into night-
That only cycles again
Creating a sort of homeostatic balance
Adopted as a norm, the cycle is maintained
While I wrestle with the statement
To never lose yourself
Yourself you'll surely lose
Until you recognize what creates your peace-
Piece of mind that allows you to love yourself
My True Love-
Poetry

AMAZING!
Thx @ bleeding diamonds.
Poetry is, first and foremost, a tool for introspection, a means by which we can express our hearts, minds, and souls. Through poetry, we acknowledge the beauty of the world around us. Through the poetic medium, we can share this beauty with others.
Therefore, the one true requirement for a good poem is that the author speaks from his or her heart, truthfully.
Poetry... Is as much about expressing beauty, as it is about making our ideas beautiful.
You have done a wonderful thing; you have taken the very spirit of human interaction, and relayed it through verse. It's witty, charming, wise, and ever so slightly melancholy.
Just the way I like it.
Bravo, Despina Nicole Cambosos.
