Dear me <3

Poetry
When I count my scars,
I land up wasting my precious hours,
Each day I question then juggle, run and hide,
But today I want to confide,
Instead of asking the inner me I decide to ask my mighty mirror,
Cause never have I ever considered myself dearer,
Mirror Mirror who's the prettiest among all?
Mirror replies: Do you ask because you don't know at all?
Hesitantly I answer, I mean I know but I'm not sure,
Mirror continues: Girl, that's because neither do you know the cause nor the cure,
Trust me you are rare,
All you need is to give yourself little love and care,
There's no reason to feel insecure....
For you should learn to embrace,
Your existence makes the world a beautiful place,
For you are not a disgrace,
Allow love to resonate and reciprocate,
For god's sake eliminate hate,
Smiling confidently I dazzle,
For now I know that loving myself is the answer to this puzzle.....
Dear me, I'll love you a little more each passing day,
I promise to disown self-doubts and keep all the worries away,
Dear me, I still believe that beauty is paramount,
But I'll continue to love you throughout,
Dear me, Henceforth I will look upto you.....Will you love me too?
