This was supposed to be my entry for the Discord Spoken Words Contest with the theme for this week being SELF LOVE but I couldn't make it in time.
Hello beautiful, I'm in love with you
I'm in love with the crease on your brows, the curve of your face and the rough of your skin.
I'm in love with you, the girl I see in the mirror.
I am in love with you because you are me and I am you. You love me, I love you. We love us, us love we. 'them' don't love us? 'them' don't matter.
They say the happiness you give comes back to you. But we can never give what we don't have. That's why I've learned to be happy with myself, to accept my awesomeness and my flaws, to love who I am.
Once I walked the streets dealing for love and acceptance. Then I realized we are all vain beings looking for the same thing. But the love and acceptance we seek lie within ourselves. And I have found mine and I'm never going to let it go.
Now I love and feel loved. For I do not seek another human to complete me for I am complete.
