Love Thyself

Society isn't beautiful.

Brushing past a well hung

mirror

reveals the outer shell of a

soul

viewed by a harsh, critical 

mind

with a distorted sense of self

worth. 

Beauty defines such a lovely face?

Irrelevant. 

One flaw equates ten million

barred 

for all the world to see.

Respect 

for one's self should come

naturally, 

yet every measured step heavy with

shame, 

with hatred, with degradation, proves

otherwise.
