I'm in Love

In honor of Valentine's Day I'm posting this poem. In honor of myself, I got up this morning and went to the gym. Self love can be the hardest love of all. Love yourself BAF.

Today I Have Decided to Fall in Love with Me by Destiny Love Mitchell

Today I have decided
To fall in love with me.
I had to give it a shot
Just had to see.

It started off easy,
And felt oh so right.
All of a sudden
I became a Queen.
What a sight!

I didn't care what he thought,
She said,
or they did.
I was unstoppable.
Dreaming the impossible
Just like a little kid.
But wouldn't you know,

I fell.
And, boy, did I yell.
With bruises along the way,

I'd be lying if I didn't say
That I wanted to give up.
But somehow convinced myself to stay.
I just had to do it.
This had to be the day.

Yet, I persisted to cut myself
With self-doubt and critical words.
To the point where I wanted to fly away,
Far and fast like a flock of birds.
I knocked down my self-esteem
And in pain and anguish,
I fell to my knees.

But like a cat with 9 lives,
I got back up again.
Hoping to finally become
My own best friend.

I've gotten through the hard part,
Just like I knew I would.
I never knew loving me
Could ever feel this good.

So take my advice
And take a chance on you.
It is by far the smartest thing
You could ever do.

Now when I look in the mirror
All that I see,
Is the love of my life
Smiling back with glee.

And this story ends
Where it all begins,
Because today I have decided
To fall in love with me.

It's definitely better than overdosing on chocolates. And while I love flowers, they are only temporary. I need something that will keep me warm and satisfied when I'm alone in bed with no prospects in sight.

I love this! Thanks for sharing

We all need a reminder now and then. I needed it myself! I'm glad you liked it.

I like it, I really, really like it.  Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
