You tell others to love themselves.
You tell them that they should never settle for anything that makes them feel less than.
You say these things often and with enthusiasm.
God & Man
Your love is fierce and strong and beautiful and true.
And you dont want them to be gentle about their love for themselves, either.
You say all this.
You do all this.
But then when you go home, you dont do the same thing.
You have trouble standing in front of the mirror and seeing your best self.
You have difficulty standing in the place of praise when someone compliments you.
I dont know why you do this, but you do.
You do this, even though you are a mirror of goodness for the ones in your love.
You do this, even though you have the best advice for others.
You are the one they come to when theyre in the valley of their lives.
When they struggle with sadness or depression or despair, they come to you.
You are the one who reminds people of their worth.
Now its time to practice what you preach.
Its time to remember your worth when the world tries to shake you from that belief.
Now its time to do that for yourself.
