If I love myself.

I'd give myself the best rest
hugged by books & blankets,
if I love myself.
I'd see the world as it is
not a chamber of torture & regrets.
If I love myself
I would not watch so many horror movies
and let little things hit the mark.
If I love myself I'd go with the
flow for awhile, give out love as I
go along & call it a life well-lived.
If I love myself.
