The 'I'

 I know for sure

I won't be love myself unless I accept who I am

I won't love others if I don't love me

I cannot give what I do not possess

Without acceptance of I, my history

I will keep expecting of people

Wanting and hoping they become who and what I am

And do as I wish

It's hard to accept myself

To look at my soul and say it is good

After everything I've done.

Everything I've been through

The pain, hurt, heartache, sadness, negativity-oblivious thoughts-

How can I accept am free to be 'I'

How do you deal with yourself and all that you're?
