To love yourself is a talent
A virtue some take for granted
To be kind to your body
To let ripen what your father had planted
To love yourself and be confident
To walk into the room feet planted
Shoulders back, head high intact,
I am as good as you
So why are you not staring back?
To love yourself, but love me first
To know that you are unique
They should pay attention
If you so decided to speak
To feel you have as much to offer
As the philosophers of Rome and ancient Greece
To think that if anybody could
You could bring world peace
To love yourself and never doubt
The sincerity that runs through you
A plethora of a lump sum amount
To love your face the way your nose
Takes it shape, the way your legs
Hold you up in space, how your tongue
Knows what not to taste, how come
I can’t love myself, the way you say
To love yourself, or don’t bother living one more day

Whoever inspired this write....hmmmm...Sounds like someone's done a number on you. I hope you learn to love yourself again...soon. Real soon...Overall I like this poem...the structure's pretty good, the flow and the wording is decent, but one little complaint...The usage of 'planted' twice, especially so close together...how about "To let ripen what your father had IMplanted...?" Still kind of similar, but at least a bit different...*shrug* It didn't detract too much from this otherwise solid write though. As always; well done.
