You gotta love yourself,
Before you love someone else,
You're wonderful,
You're beautiful,
You're everything in between.
Comparing yourself to the world,
The scene,
It's not fair,
They're not your queen.
The passions you have,
Don't hide them,
The people who matter,
Will love them.
Start loving yourself,
You're doing great things,
Don't let them tell you anything.
Be who you are,
Say what you mean,
Follow your passions,
Find your dreams.
Those people that you cried with,
The ones that you fought,
You gotta love them,
Hold them tight.
They stood beside you
In the darkest of night,
They laughed beside you
In the brightest of days.
Sure,
You may not be close,
Maybe you grew astray,
Just don't forget,
They stood by you
When you were afraid.
Love those people.
They didn't give up.
They could have let you fall,
But loved you through it all.
Love the city,
You hated so much.
It molded you,
It shaped you,
Showed you what you like,
Taught you who you wanted to be.
I know, it felt like you were chained,
In the boring city that you grew,
But here's a secret,
Those chains were made by you.
Why do you hate it?
A vital part of who you are,
Just embrace it,
Remember from afar.
You've learned something from it,
Even if it's where you don't want to be.
That city you hate,
Helped create,
The person that you are today.
Love truly, love deeply, love madly.
