"Love Yourself First"

​-I can’t help you but I wish so much I could
-The love of another, alone, is not enough unless you love yourself totally, love yourself first

-Love yourself enough to let go of pain--the foundation of all anger and sadness
-Love yourself enough to face and work through all what follows

-I was always your friend first...supporting, listening, searching to understand you
-But you held on to little negatives, collecting reasons to halt progress, not seeing or believing the growing positives
-I wish things could have been different, but the only person that stopped trying was you

-The way you left me, resonates an absence of maturity
-I spoke, I shared in a last attempt to get you to see what is hindering you from being free, but you chose self-preservation, clutching tightly to shield

-My heart will always love you, but my mind knows there is nothing else I can do for you...
-Even though I so desperately want you to find happiness, heal the child in you, empower the woman in you

-Strength is earned through discipline--engagements that challenge the essence of our being
-Happiness is achieved through balance--surrendering to a sense of peace

​-Love is strength, love is happiness...but it must be in you first
