Love yourself first

I Hated myself so much that I thought..

I don’t deserve love..
I did that to myself, yes can you imagine!

Thinking any deep gesture is not true..
Delusional or I don’t worth..

Created walls too high..
Too high that I felt choked..
And accepted what is not..
That I am not enough..
For such a long time..
Certainly due to less understanding and more judgemental world..
And mostly
Because of getting controlled, scrutinised and mistrust..
And definitely
Because of low self esteem
Due to seeking validation from near, dear, others and above..

I could not believe..
Nor could I trust..
Walls for others and cage for myself..

I get to know too late..
Before anything else..
No matter what..
Don’t be cruel to yourself..
Too late but true always..
To the person whom you are going to spend most of your time..
Its also deserve priority, love, kindness and trust..
Love yourself first..

Love yourself first..
