Manifesto of Self-Love
No matter how the world looks at me, no matter if I am praised, criticized or even disdained I WILL NEVER AGAIN ABANDON ME even if my live shatters in a thousand pieces even if I will be forsaken and left alone as a loser even if all my hopes and plans fail no matter what’s going to happen I WILL NEVER AGAIN ABANDON ME even if others seem to be so much better and more successful than I even if I feel useless and inferior even if I feel ugly and old I WILL NEVER AGAIN ABANDON ME I am sorry that so often I did abandon me How often did I compare myself to others and then hide myself shamefully from the world I am sorry that I have been so unloving and uncaring with myself I am sorry that I denied my body I am sorry that I always tried to satisfy the needs of others and did not even feel my own But now I pledge to myself: WHATEVER WILL HAPPEN I WILL NEVER AGAIN ABANDON ME I will be there with all my love and compassion |
