You will never know
what love truly is until you fully love yourself.…. – Monica Renata
Love. We all want it. Many of us
search for a lifetime to find it, but do we really know what it is? I have felt
as though I have loved before, but was that true? To find beauty within a rock
that has been weathered by so many storms…..That beautiful rock which is you.
Take time to discover what makes you special….. Take the time to love yourself fully.
Love yourself more than you thought you could ever be loved……..and then when
another love crosses your path, you will know if it is worth putting your heart
at risk.
The
Rock
By: Monica Renata
To
place it on a pedestal
To
bow before its feet
Seems
like an uninspiring thing
Its
importance is of the least
It
is just so plain and shallow
It
stays the same each time
No
one wants to marvel the rock
That
is not hard to find
Reflection
seen every day
Yet
it does not mean much
A
rock that has been weathered by many storms
Yet
never felt that touch
That
touch of love that bursts within
That
radiates from sea to sea
The
acceptance of the realization
That
that rock is me
So
what is there to like about it?
Yet,
what is there to hide?
Constantly
questioning my own value
Constantly
wondering why
Why
am I important?
Why
do I have value today?
What
makes me so special?
What
makes people in my life stay?
Always
doubting the beauty within
Yet
believing all the negative hype
But
today I decide to cast away
The
negativity associated with the rock
Beautiful
in its own way
It
has such a marvelous hue
Its
endurance is never-ending
Its
strength is unparalleled too
The
gracefulness to tap dance on water
The
weight to sink deep down
The
malleability to forge into a weapon
The
ability to survive time after time
Weathered
by many storms
So
many times cast into the sea
Yet
I returned to land each time
Smoothened
out by harsh conditions around me
And
for that I love myself more
I
realize the strength within me
I
learn to love myself regardless
Of
what others may think of me
To
place it on a pedestal
To
bow before its feet
Seems
like an uninspiring thing
Its
importance is of the least
But
the value of some great things
Aren’t
always seen
But
love from within is priceless
And
it will never leave
So
love yourself undoubtedly
Appreciate
all the flaws within
Never
doubt your own existence
Know
your value from within
Love
yourself so truly
Even
if others may not
For
you are a valuable person
Just
like the almighty rock
