Heads and Tails

Many times I have found that we don't like the truth
We question it as though somehow it will hurt us
Yet it can only rest us, settle us, give us the tools to go on

Yet the things that are not truth,
They are the easier things to pacify the day
Wait until later with
Keep us not accountable a day longer

So many times people ask how they can love themselves?
What does that mean to love myself?
It is to pay attention to the truth around you
To care enough about you to no longer postpone who you are in this day
To live in the day with the energy that it could be your last
And the intensity that love is forever
And the foresight to see both

Self love is open ended
And susceptible to all changes of a day
Yet when you are doing right by yourself
That day is always better
Every "better" day that you have
Can become a way of life
And YOUR life is really worth it
YOU are really worth it

No need to find reasons of why you don't have to do anything now
Flip the coin
The same coin it has always been
Knowing all along...
The other side of love
The other side of hope
The other side of you
In your pocket
Waiting for you
