A self-love poem to help you get through life

Glitters of life, You only notice during rough times.

You miss the sun, In the pouring rain.

You want to workout, When you’re in pain.

You want to fall in love, When you’re hurt and above.

You want to paint the world, When you know only the black color.

You buy books you’d never read, You don’t want to stay, still, you don’t leave,

You dream every night, During the day you successfully manage to hide.

Every morning, you talk to the mirror, Yet your reflection brings you, terror.

You hate to say things you truly mean, And you love the things you dare not dream.

You live in a facade made of illusion, Then you look at your virtues with confusion!

Glitters of life that you ignored all your life, Have been hiding beneath you all this while.

Choose them over any scanty doubt, Choose yourself through every blackout!
