Love yourself first, Sweetheart | Inspirational Poem | Neha's Notebook

Love yourself first, sweetheart.

 

Piece by piece,

day after day,

you fall apart

 

Night after night,

crack after crack

breaks your heart

 

the matrix of suffering

only seems to magnify

since the moment your life starts

 

smiles remain in fashion

but what about the happiness

don’t you lose it part by part?

 

honey-sweet words remain evergreen in style

but what about love, “Oh, no-no, sweetheart!”

isn’t your life is just an act, a plastic art?

 

do you really love someone unconditionally

or do you only look at them only to fulfill

the voids of your hollow-broken heart?

 

do you live your life engulfed

in the polarity of pluses and minuses

are you a human or like a tiny metal chip

are you merely calculator smart?

 

do you only calculate currencies and calories

do you only measure graphs and bar charts

or do you remember to calculate the moments

spent in laughters, fun and tarts?

 

do you only complain about the unlove

and unfairness of life, or do you dare to

look within and burn your own

ignorance, part by part?

 

relationships are always trendy

but what about connection, do you

connect with the ones you relate to, too

do you sweetheart?

 

because if you can’t love yourself

without conditions, how could you even

love anyone else, you will only break

more of their heart, part by part.

Better still, leave them apart! 

leave all apart,

love yourself first, O sweetheart

love yourself first, O sweetheart!
