The First Time

Today 
I will begin to love me for the first time
Then I wont have to waste my mind
hurting you
lying to me
worrying you
killing you and me
destroying me
backstabbing you
crying about me
waiting on you
blaming you
shaming me
hitting you
Today
 I will begin to love me for the first time
So I can free my mind
I will be able to reach the sky
To see a new high
Then I wont do these things I believe
are right
 but wrong 
plant a seed
Today I will love me
Then I will share
holding you
holding me
caring for you
loving you
talking
about the wonder gift you are.
