Self Love, a Poem
Sometimes it rains, but the sun does shine.
Sometimes I get wet, but I’m still all mines.
Would you rather be broke or give it all up for a million-dollar joke?
Would you save your temple and stay pure…so simple.
Would you play yourself to prove a point?
Or rise above it all and say no while puffing on a joint?
Do you think you’re worth it?
Or do you think you’re worthless?
Do you have goals and dreams?
Where is your self-esteem?
Do you look to others for approval?
Or do you look to yourself — or should you?
It’s called self-love and it starts by establishing you are already loved by your Creator who is above.
All the hurt, all the tears, all the frustrations, and all the fears.
Sometimes it rains, but the sun does shine;
Sometimes I get wet, but I still got my peace of mind.
