Self Love

What bullshit philosophy
to love the self so hard
how do wars get won
how are the oppressed freed
what would be left of the Jesus story
or the Mary story
how are civilizations built
how are children molded
how are families held together at all
how is love even made
when the only compass you believe in
is the one lodged
in your comfort
in the easiest path
for your feelings.

Everything heroic
in all of history
is uncomfortable
and felt miserable
for a long time
or a little.
