It Took Me Awhile To Love Myself Again

It took me awhile to love myself again

It took me awhile to love myself again

So that other people
could love me in return

And now that I have gotten 
through 
the most difficult moments

I have had enough time
to reevaluate everything

And I have done 
some fine tuning

And a few adjustments 
here and there

And the whole process has 
made me a better person

Because I can love 
myself just as I am

But I have also learned how to accept
the things that I cannot possibly change

By allowing myself to look forward

So that I can focus on those things 
that can have a positive outcome

Because it will make a significant 
difference in this life of mine

By leaving my past behind
and not looking back again

Because I have had plenty of time 
and the opportunity and the freedom 

To discover who I am all over again

So that my life can ultimately be more 
fulfilling and truly rewarding in the long run
