Self-love: The key to happiness
Beating yourself up, to love others
Keeping none for yourself.
Living for other people’s dreams
Really, how’s that going to help?

World has now given you the time,
To send love to your soul,
To acknowledge your existence,
And let the hidden desires unroll.

Life is making each of us a case of paranoia
Mental health taking a toll,
As if the daily chaos was not enough
Now there are tears I can’t control.
— — — —
There is no getting away from this, huh?
Can I hibernate and wake up to find the finish line?
I embraced life as an experiment
But oh what the heck! This pain is no benign.
— — — —
So, self-love is what we all need
To forget the past and future, but to embrace the present.
Time to be considerate, take each day at a time,
It’s not the time to win but just to try and be content.
— — — —
Remember, one size doesn’t fit all
And hence self-love may vary too,
But take a moment and think
Think about the lost hobbies that need a rescue.
— — — —
Yes, you and I are not the same
But we are all in need of serenity,
Be it through meditation or art
Or by using cooking as a means of therapy.
— — — —
Sing to the top of your voice,
If it lets out that agitation,
Dance away all the stress
No shame today, no hesitation.
— — — —
We have been given the chance to live for ourselves
Not worrying about the surrounding,
Or being sucked into the constant race
But doing just enough to ensure that we ourselves are growing!
