ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

No Love for self

You love someone,

So much,

So that,

When they hurt you,

Even then you just forgive.

But mostly,

We hurt ourselves,

We make mistakes,

And keep looking at ourselves,

Through tinted glasses

Of the failures.

We never forgive ourselves

Like we forgive the ones we love.

When we don't love ourselves enough,

Should we really expect to be loved.

We cry in sorrows

And dig deep in questions,

Of why people leave us or

Don't value us enough.

It is just because,

We show to the world,

That we don't deserve love,

So, We don't get any.
