Love Yourself

You tell me you don’t love yourself,
you said, your head’s in the clouds,
that you can’t catch a breath of clean air.
I’m sorry but I just can’t help you here.
 
You’re too hard on yourself
you need to give yourself a rest
there’s just no reason to push as hard as you do.
Everything is not a test.
 
It’s not you against the world,
no, that’s not the truth, you see.
You’ll never, ever be alone
as long as your world has me.
 I can’t cure all your ills
I never promised that I could.
I’m just as vulnerable as you;
where you stand now, I once stood.
 
Pull back your shoulders, grab a deep breath
ponder your future, not what you’ve left.
As the sun replaces the moon, never failing to shine,
I tell you, you’ll be alright, yes, you’ll be just fine.
 
You tell me that you don’t love yourself,
you said you’re anxious
pushed over by the slightest of winds,
constantly falling to a plethora of tears.
Don’t think for one minute your words fall on deaf ears.
 
I can’t cure what’s ailing you,
only you hold that power.
I’m trying to do the best I can
I don’t have my head buried in the sand
I will never leave you; I’ll be your strong tower.
 
These feelings that you’re trying to hide,
surrender them, cast them aside.
You are safe here with me, let your true self show.
Silence the lies and let love for yourself flow.
You’re worth all the love, I can give you
believe me I know, I know, yes, I know.
