For Your Sake

Can you tell me three things that made you smile today?
And three things you love about yourself?
Why not say these things

For me?

Say them for my sake
if you can't stand
doing it for your own.

Can't you see the damage this has done to you?
Why don't you love yourself how you should?
When was the last time you did something

for you?

Look in the mirror for a moment,
beauty resides beside the lines,
did the pain stop your hate?

How come you are so focused on yourself?
Don't you know that you are vain?
Why aren't you asking what to do

For them?

Bake them cookies that crumble,
always give something because
you deserve nothing.
