Contemplation

Love Thy Self

I've been trying to fall in love with myself

To try and get another perspective

To see what makes people love me

I've been working on myself

And I can see the happiness in the smile that stretches across my face

My dimple from when it's too big for my face to contain

I see my eyes green and brown like a forest

My body

The scars

Cellulite

Softness

And

The roughness

Have all grown on me

This is who I am

But I am not defined by the capsule that holds my soul

Who I am is within and

I hope that when someone falls in love with me

It's because of how I can't breathe when I laugh to hard

How I love to watch the sunsets more than the sunrises

How my eyes look at mid afternoon

My tears

With the times when depression comes creeping in

I hope they love me when I can't love myself

When everything is a struggle

But for now

I will take a breath

And keep on trying to fall irrevocably in love with myself
