Recite it over and over again,
I will love myself,
I will love myself.
A feverish prayer,
To my body and soul.
Some nights, I cry and claw at my flesh;
I take down my esteem and crumble it up;
Zero in on me and how I've failed;
I do not love that.
When I am the aggressor,
It plays in my mind,
A faint record gaining strength in repetition;
I will love myself,
I will love myself,
Even when I am a mess.
