Love Yourself Poem by Margaret Alice Second

The only thing that matters is whether you believe
your actions are APPROPRIATE, nothing is more
damaging to your psyche than doing things which
are wrong according to your own moral code, does
not matter how the code evolved - religion or your
own thought, it only matters whether you can feel
proud of yourself and develop self-esteem

Based on your image in your own eyes; if you keep
on breaking laws in which you believe, your life will
be miserable and you'll find no sense in existence-
or in being loved because you do not love yourself,
without this starting point you feel disgust for every-
thing you touch - so beware those who fall in love
with you - you will show them just how little

You value yourself by lack of respect for them; their
very love will make them despicable in your eyes; so
be true to your own ideals lest you start to hate every-
thing your five senses bring into your life…
