i cannot love myself
where is this
section
of night
that found
me sitting,
it began
to fall
over my head,
working
downward,
covering
my senses,
to misunderstand
the hour,
this is
the hours
of lovers,
for lovers
convenience,
i hide my face,
i hide
completely,
i can give
my love away,
but not
to myself.

Dear J,
How very relatable. My self loathing will sometimes have its own heartbeat. I can’t help but think why we can be so cruel ourselves and kind to others? Makes no sense. I appreciated how this poem made me drive deep and consider my own actions toward me.

and that's what we all must learn...
it's the lesson often called "the hardest of all"
because it is hard to love oneself,
if those around us,
those who were supposed to be our role models
didn't know how to do it either.
Even if it's hard sometimes,
at least we can try.
We can start practicing.
If not us, who?
If not now, when?
