Love yourself

 ***

I want you to know

That dating me

will never be easy

but it will

feel like ease

you see

I am like the ocean

that beats against

the shore,

ever pressing

not to be

ignored

lifting you up

then setting you down

softly, again,

I will hold your grains

in my hand, and

let them go 

so that you

can stand,  you

told me that fame

was the price, we pay

for making change,

so let me in,

let us be

exchanged.
