You have neglected the weightier aspects of the law.
Justice, mercy , good faith.
What do we hold in awe.
Is our self respect a mere wraith.

Why are we prone to self hatred.
Can we not forgive and respect our own  persona.
We too like others are sacred.
We can value our fide and bona.

Would we ever treat a friend.
The way we treat ourselves.
All mercy to ourselves we suspend.
And kindness is put on hard to reach mental  shelves.

Something is not fundamentally wrong with me.
That’s what we have to understand and see.

……

Would we ever treat
Friends the way we treat ourselves
Be kind to ourselves
