When the sun goes down
You still have to love yourself
When the sun rises in the morning
You still have to love yourself

Can’t be pretentious
The truth will swing by
Whether you swing for the fences
Or loathe yourself
For who you are
Life is only hard
When you don’t accept your flaws
Accept your position
And let the ignoring of your hatred for yourself
Become part of your daily repetition
And let apathy become your addiction
It’s not about income or your social standing
It’s about realizing the image you are made in
And the things you choose to be commanding
And demanding
More from yourself
And the final destination
You can be landing
Cause you can dish hate
And feel somewhat relieved
But such embodiment
Is the reason why
You both love and dread going to sleep
Have faith in your life you can redeem
Some millionaires can’t afford happiness
Some of the homeless are truly the happiest
Perspective can equip you with motives
Perspective can strip you of the baggage you are holding
Peace comes from knowing who you are
Peace comes from understanding that shit happens
Sadness comes from needless comparison
Sadness comes when you choose to be acting
Acting as if the facade can help
Acting as if status and power can make you love yourself
But the dilemma lies in the truth
It’s that you can only be one person in life
And that person is you
To choose to continue
In this mindset that is so blatantly stupid
Is to be a student
Of the one who deceives
Have faith in your life you can redeem
