Treat yourself gently, kindly
don't be hard on yourself. 

The easy fix won't find the hurt, 
or a new environment and new friends. 

You deserve love 
from all the right places 
and all the right people. 

There is no competition, 
but the cultivation 
of goodness 
inside you 

and the joy 
it brings 
to other people 
when it comes out.
