a reason to love my self

a reason to love my self

they told me

that i should learn to love my self

so i stood in the bathroom mirror

peering

leering

at the beauty i saw

but like a see saw

i vacillated

in a very punctuated sense

betwixt my concept of

egocentricity

and vanity

so i went to my lover’s vanity

and i sat

peering

leering

staring

in hopes i could understand

and formulate a plan

on how to love that man

who was looking back at me

in my best attempt of conjuring

all the justifications

it came to me

i would go to my God Centered Self

you know,

the essence deep within me

and attempt to understand

the being of my inner schism

and try my mind set at narcissism

just like God

for after all

does he not like looking at Him Self

is not all that He sees

a bunch of “Mini Mes”

manifest

in all things

so with that

i now comprehend

the path i must amend

that i as Source God

am what i am

and that for sure

is

a reason to love my self
