Amour Propre
<p><strong>Viability not always remains with you and sometimes you have to get over it.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sometimes you have to get over the scenes that long before you used to knit.</strong></p>
<p><strong>For everytime you can't be Perfect and you can't be a Chevalier everytime,</strong></p>
<p><strong>Out of ire, you think yourself to be worst and waste; Isn't that a crime?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Let me tell you without beating around the bush.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Let me get to the point and give you a push.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The push towards letting you know,</strong></p>
<p><strong>Of times at when, loving yourself was a vow.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>You were your own saviour and you loved yourself well </strong></p>
<p><strong>When did the things went wrong? Can't you tell?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Yes, you have your point of everyone not able to comprehend you.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Yes, you have your point of everyone criticizing you all through.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>But even if you won't take a stand, how will your soul survive?</strong></p>
<p><strong>But even when you don't lend a hand, how will your prosperity thrive?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Becoming flagellant by hating yourself and eating up what's inside you,</strong></p>
<p><strong>Will render you only in pain even when you try to enjoy the new!</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Here's a piece of advice which I should have given to my younger self,</strong></p>
<p><strong>Telling it to you, to save someone from hating themselves.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Loving yourself has its own definition, to be true,</strong></p>
<p><strong>And finding yours, is your work to do.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Those who don't care, to them your state won't matter,</strong></p>
<p><strong>Remember everyone has their own way to walk after the chatter.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Love, value and appreciate yourself, enjoying every achievement of yours,</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>And let the poem be ended on the note that self-love has multifarious cures.</strong></p>
