Love thyself

Left hugging right
Seems less
Capable
Than another
All together

Love thyself

Sentiments
Seem less true
When from
One's own lips
Almost fabricated

Love thyself

A date
Alone
To where?
And when?
Doing what?

No hate
No malice
Just not
Convinced
Just hallow
Feeble attempts

Shut off
Shut down
Withdrawal
Weirdness alone
Hiding in
Plain sight

Just wanting
To fit
To feel loved
To be appreciated
Every attempt
Falls short

Even
When
Alone
