Self-Love

#prompt day 3

I stood in front of the mirror To practice self-love.

But all I saw was faults — chubby cheeks and freckly skin.

I swore to make some changes before I could practice loving myself.

or if someone starts loving me without changing me at all.

But none of that happened.

I wake up every morning staring at myself in self-pity.

Also, I won't expect anyone to love me unless I achieve that task myself.
