Self Love

Lang Leav is by far one of my favorite poets of all time. “ Self Love “ is a poem about learning to love yourself. A girl with a terrible past is constantly on the move. The horrors from before still haunt her and have affected her daily. She sought help the best she could and she tried to endure the pain. Always afraid the past may one day catch up with her and make her relive her worst nightmares. Eventually, that girl was no longer scared. She was no longer hurt or angry. She learned to let go of that anger and she learned the power of forgiveness. She was blinded by the past that she couldn’t see her future. She was holding her own self back from greatness. She learned to let go and forgive and that’s how she found inner peace. Sometimes it’s not always those who do you wrong that you need to forgive, sometimes it’s yourself. She learned that she couldn’t live a life full of resentment. She begins to breathe, pray, and believe. She begins to love herself and every day becomes a little easier.
