When I love me, things will change.

I won't be so wrapped up in thinking

that I'm not good enough.

I won't try to perfect the way I look for anyone.

I won't need to, for true beauty lies within.


When I love me, life will be different.

I won't care if people dislike me,

or if they don't like who I'm friends with.

I won't let them judge me;

and I'll do my best not to judge others

because of my own insecurity-

But will remember who is the supreme Judge!



When I love me, I'll be able to forget

about all the bad things in my life.

I'll see the glass half full,

rather than half empty.

I'll make choices to the best of my ability

and without someone else's input.



That way, I'll know in my heart

it was the right thing to do.

When I love me, nothing will get me down.

I'll be able to look in the mirror and smile,

because I'll be happy with what I see.



I won't be ashamed of what I look like

or what I wear.

I won't have to be someone IM not

just to please my peers.

When I love me, I'll be able to be myself.

I'll say what's on my mind

and not feel as if I've said the wrong thing.

I'll believe in myself

and believe that I can accomplish my goals.



I'll tell everyone,

"Hey, I did that, with God's help. We did it together."

When I love me, and surrender totally to the Lord,

I'll be able to feel whole.

My life will finally come together and I'll be truly happy.

I won't have to regret

what I've done in the past

or what I'm destined to do in the future.

I'll feel like I'm worth something

and that I helped make a difference
