*Love ya self....*

In order to be truly happy with another, you must first learn to love yourself.

For how can you expect another to love you, when you dont?

You want another to give their all, but you wont,

We dont give our best to ourselves,

and so we seek completion for a soul that never had holes to begin with.

And so we refuse to quit.

We refuse to let go,

even if that which we are letting go of

never really was

best for us.

when you dont love yourself, you feel you need to be loved by another.

So many of us go out in search of that fine sista or brotha,

already setting ourselves up for failure.

Because we fail to realize,

that our eyes dont listen to our minds,

or know whats best for our hearts.

We want things we cant have,

not saying we cant have them,

but God wont let you,

because he wont let you fall into the hands of someone who doesnt love you like he do.

After all, didnt he send his son to die for you?

And why?

because thats what we're worth.

But we cant see that because we spend too much time preachin' about what we deserve,

like we did shit,

like we have wing- worthy accomplishments,

and we are owed the world too.

But know that no one is obligated to give a damn about you.

Or me, Only one person loves you unconditionally.

But as long as you keep making room in your heart for someone who doesnt have room in their heart for you,

you will forget to answer when God is calling to you.

He knocks on your soul, but u cant hear.

Because the devil takes his best disguise,

sending someone with pretty brown eyes,

to whisper in ya ear.

Until you get that little tingley feeling right in the heart of ya chest, everytime you hear Jesus name,

you will never be truley satisfied, no matter how good you do the damn thing.

Until you can be truly content looking in the mirror and only seeing yourself,

you will continue to be on a quest, if you dont ask for the right help.

We must learn to feed our souls, and not our bodily needs,

Because you being all that you are, will never be good enough to complete me.

you see i was already complete, and it took me awhile to see that,

I had to be knocked to the bottom, get up, and bounce back,

into the arms of an angel, who loved me the whole time unconditionally,

and then i learned how to love...... me...
