I'm working on that

Learning to love again

I trust you,

But I don’t trust me,

Not yet at least.

I like you,

But I don’t like me,

I’m working on that.

I have feelings for you,

But, I still don’t know

How I feel about myself.

I love you.

I am trying to love myself,

Because until I do,

I can’t be loved,

Or truly love another.

I trust a lot of things.

I trust a lot of people.

It seems the hardest thing to trust

Is myself,

My feelings,

My emotions,

My love.

But I’m working on that.

It reminds me of how I made the decision to love myself instead of striving for others attention. Love yourself and the rest will fall into its right place.

A simple truth, simply written, that all have felt. The oddity of a simple truth is that it is often hard to deal with. Simple does not mean easy. I have been told recently that I should praise more and write less, I'm working on that. It was very good.

Finding or better yet discovering one's self is the peak of a new world.
Allow those feelings to define the future. Beautiful work...

Very nice words for so difficult a discussion. We all identify with the idea of love and trust. And the rarity of getting the right mixture for both. I would say that trust comes from our mind and love from our heart, but your word are much better. We don't just read them we can feel them.
