Love Yourself First

by Tolu Quadri, Toronto, Canada, Age 19

Verse:
She’s only sixteen and it already hurts to face the mirror
Many visible pleads but it seems as if nobody can hear her
Kids are calling her names so she’s determined to change to fit in
And though she’s physically weak she longs acceptance, but finds the pain she cant win (one can only imagine)

Chorus:
Why are you so insecure?
You’re perfect just the way that you are
Don’t you know your body’s worth much more than trying to look like that superstar?
You’ll continue to hurt if you don’t love yourself first

Verse (rap):
You got to love your body and respect yourself and don’t let material things affect your health, your body is a box of treasure with those eyes and your smile you bring love and pleasure, reason being you were once in the Almighty’s hands created and molded by the perfect man, simple to understand, between love and pain choose love for yourself and change for you and you alone and nobody else, make that change as an inner solution and don’t get caught up with the world’s fame or pollution or live an illusion, though your road may be long and rough keep your head up remember always you have more than enough and to those who try to bring you down, prove them wrong hold on for the gold and claim your crown show them that you’re a true beauty queen and you’re living your life to the fullest sixteen.

Chorus:
Why are you so insecure?
You’re perfect just the way that you are
Don’t you know your body’s worth much more than trying to look like that superstar?
You’ll continue to hurt if you don’t love yourself first

Bridge:
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who’s the prettiest of them all?
You are, you are, you are, if you first love yourself
I love my eyes, my ears, my personality
Won’t let nobody get the very best of me

Mirror, Mirror on the wall who’s the prettiest of them all?
You are, you are, your are if you first love yourself
I love my lips, I love my nose, I love my toes
Created differently, I love the way it shows (so why)

Chorus:
Why are you so insecure?
You’re perfect just the way that you are
Don’t you know your body’s worth much more than trying to look like that superstar?
You’ll continue to hurt if you don’t love yourself first

Outro: You’ll continue to hurt if you don’t love yourself first, first, first, first, first, first, first (rep1) (In my eyes you’ll always be the best, stop giving yourself a whole lot of stress and with trying to figure out just where you belong (rep1)
