"How to be your own best friend."

Part of studies which I took.

Such enemies, we are to us,

that two people wrote a book.

.

It says that you must love yourself,

written ~ in a simple way.

If love is hard, then try to like

just step by step, every day.

.

Loneliness ~ low self esteem,

noisy silence ~ is imposed.

We take a pill and some more

til we're absolutely overdosed.

.

Stand up and say "I'm proud of me"

and hold your head up high

malaise of mine, is just like yours,

it's allowed for you to cry.

.

Think of who you are, to you,

that's the first move to advance.

See the image of a friend to be,

if, you give yourself a chance.

.

You are who, you need to love

and then it follows through.

If you are happy with yourself,

then they, will be ~ with you.

.

lol....so we have read the same text books, Mark?
 
Used to think at first they were a lot of psycho-babble, but as time goes on...
 
thanks, pleased you appreciated the origin of the inspiration for this one, Zy

Hy, Maria, as Mark so cleverly sussed...these words were words from our text books when I took a psychology dip. at Cal. Tech. in Pasadena about 25 yrs ago, lol,
 
the language differences and approach to 'self' esteem was very different from my sudies in the UK years before, and these were from much of what I did struggle to take on board at first, but eventually, I learned the American way,  and much of it is imprinted deeply, thanks, Maria, Zy
