Tore down my own self

“Why am I not enough?”

I used to wonder,

every single moment

of every single day.

It seemed as though,

everyone would be happier,

everything would be nicer,

if only I wouldn’t be a part of it.

Everything wrong seemed to be because of me,

blame upon blame,

I showered upon myself.

Ruthlessly and cold bloodily,

I tore down my own self.

I’m sorry, my dear old self.

I’m really sorry for giving you hell,

when you only wanted to be there for everyone.

I’m sorry and I promise,

I’ll do whatever it takes

to make it up to you.

P.S.-

We often put ourselves through so much, only because we want to appease others, to fit in according to the norms of this society. Do you think you really do love yourself? Have you forgiven yourself for everything that you’ve ever done? How important do you think self love actually is? Share your thoughts below!
