We disrespect ourselves when we don't 
pay attention to our lives,
when we are too busy to take care of
ourselves, when we can't stand up for ourselves.

We disrespect ourselves when we don't 
reject other people's opinions.
We disrespect ourselves when we 
don't do what we say we are going to do.

We disrespect ourselves when we 
are not true to ourselves.

But you can change yourself.
Start by treating yourself with love,
With respect.
When you respect yourself, 
others will respect you.
When you treat others with respect,
other people will treat you with respect.

You respect yourself when you love
yourself, when you accept yourself
as you are, and when you accept 
your weaknesses.

You respect yourself when you 
choose yourself, when you choose life.
