Love the mirror.

I don't love myself If I was honest and honest to the truth These are the expletives I'll say The insults that I'll spew In front of the mirror everyday Break the fingers Silence the chord But keep the voices in my brain You don't love yourself And you don't love you For the being you are And every single strand of self you have You run yourself ragged Desperate to change The demons, the scars, the stains You tire in your tireless crusade As you deem yourself a failure Time, time and again You don't love yourself And you don't love you But stop, take a minute Let's think this through And realise the being in the mirror is you Who's to protect yourself When you stab yourself in the chest? Why do you immediately go on attack When all you wanted was your own love back? Take a moment, a breath, a glimmer of faith... You don't love yourself And you don't love you Reach out with an open hand and not a fist Don't throw a punch but throw a kiss Go to the mirror and tell yourself "Listen here you are not a shell Give me time and give me chances There will be no going back only advances I'm sick of doubts and sick of hatred And I will not stop until you love me as well." You don't love yourself But you can AND will learn to love you
