I'm just a soul who's intentions are good,

Something, something, please don't let me be misunderstood.

I was raised to always be myself,

Is everyone else just the same, or are they scared?

Someday I'll love myself more.


20%

I got pushed in the mud,

They destroyed my books.

I couldn't even stand up for myself,

Though, I did, for someone else.

Someday I'll love myself more.


30%

Why am I making excuses for him?

The abuses are clear.

I want so badly to believe, but...

I guess there's a lot I don't understand...

Someday I'll love myself more.


40%

2 lovers and I'm ashamed,

2 lovers, and I love them both the same.

Oldies song in my head over 2 girls,

I never wanted to be this kind of guy, but honesty is so hard...

Someday I'll love myself more.



50%

First a belt buckle,

Then my bare hands,

Then moving the clouds in my mind,

Then, more indulgence.

Someday I'll love myself more.


60%

Taillights.

I was wrong in every way and now she's gone,

It was all honesty on my part,

I just didn't listen to her honesty until I said something I can't take back.

Someday I'll love myself more.


70%

Something in my drink?

I know I only came over because I'm lonely...

I knew I couldn't trust her...

What is she doing?

Someday I'll love myself more.


80%

Maybe around 20 drinks a week lately,

I was up to about 15 this night alone,

I didn't even catch a name,

Who knows what else I could have caught?

Someday I'll love myself more.


90%

At least 3 of them had riot shields,

Almost fainted, cuffed aggressively.

I only didn't go through with it because a kid was close enough to hear the shot meant only for me,

What good can that even say about me though? I wasn't supposed to survive this.

Someday I'll love myself more.


100%

Not sure what exactly shifted, it's a lot of things,

Fitter, happier, more productive.

More and more, becoming someone I can be proud of, and becoming even better.

Admittedly, still, always things in the corner of my eye...

But I can't wait to see how much more I can love myself someday if I keep this up.

Today I might be sitting on the shore.

But someday I will dive in, swim and soar.

That day I will love myself more.


Today may feel quiet, slow and lethargic.

But someday you'll see me pounce and roar.

That day I will love myself more.


Today I may be in two states.

But someday I will be sure.

That day I will love myself more.


Today self love is enough for me.

But someday you will add your amore.

That day I will love myself more.

Self-Acceptance


As I look at the horizon,

I reflect on the essence,

Of my very existence.


I am on the two way street,

Of my mental complex,

I look to the left,

Where I have been,

The challenges,

The achievements,

The fear,

The pleasantries.


Then I look to the right,

What I will become,

My future,

The unknown,

The fog in the distance,

That never fails to,

Make me wonder.


As I travel along the road,

Towards my future,

I look down at myself,

The person,

Who is running away,

From the past,

Filled with fear.


But what fills my thoughts,

Is whether I will truely,

Love myself again.


Then the angel on my shoulder,

The spirit of the light,

Whispers in my ear,

"Someday,

You will love yourself more."


With that thought in my mind,

I run through the mist,

And to unknown future ahead of me.

Someday I'll love myself more.

Until then, give me more space

For I need to grow

Through all these woes.


Someday I'll love myself more.

Until then, give me your patience

For I need to be absolved

From all my sins I solved.


Someday I'll love myself more.

Until then, give me your reverence

For I need courage

To end all my thoughts' carnage.


Someday I'll love myself more.

Until then, give me your love.

For I need all the love I can get

To convince myself

That I deserve to be loved

Even by me.
