LOVE YOURSELF

                                                LOVE YOURSELF

 I was born as a twin 

Ask where my twin is she lives in me 

I thought I was not loved by my parent

 `Not even my friends at school.

 I got lost in the forest of nowhere 

Full of sorrows, distress, and bitterness 

Walking in the street of loneliness

 Where even the chirping of beautiful birds where nowhere be heard

 Tears and sorrows were sinking in me like a corn sink in water

 Scratching my hair all over out of betrayal, distress bitterness, regret, and heavenly burdened

 I turned away from the world.

 streams of tears coursed down my cheeks and snaked in between my breasts dwelling in the unbearable pain 

and sorrows I coiled in my dark world. 

Howling out and running with great zeal from the light that tried intervening in my dark world

 its turned futile On the verge of shattering my dark world,

 I tried running to a different dark world but it was to no avail.

 Since the light chased every footstep I made Had I had no alternative I had to face my obstacle of loving my self

 That was when I felt love from everyone.
