i am so loved.
for some reason unknown
to me, i have all of these
friends that will listen to
what i have to say and care
about what i think and feel
for some reason unknown
to me, i have all of these
friends who smile at me
and compliment me and
make casual conversations
and wave to me when
they see me
for some reason unknown
to me, i have all of these
friends who text me first
and hug me goodbye and
come to me for advice and —
for some reason unknown
to me, i have all of these
friends who love me.
for some reason unknown to me,
i'm surrounded with people who
appreciate and care about me.
but i've never let myself see
it clearly enough.
i've been so insecure and self
absorbed that i haven't let
myself see just how much
i'm loved.
i am so, so loved,
and i am so deserving
of the love i'm given
i've battled my mind
for far too long debating
that and i've decided to
just let myself be deserving
of this love i receive
i am loved and i deserve it.
i show love to so many people
and most of the time i find
myself getting it in return
and i deserve it.
i will silence my insecurities
and my self hatred and i
will cherish the love that
i rightfully receive.
i am so loved, and i so deserve it.
