Am I Loved?

Often I wonder

am I loved?

Do my parents say they love me

only because they created me?

Do my siblings say they love me

only because they feel obligated to?

Am I only tolerated by my friends

out of pity

or disgust?

I do not know.

But I hope

I pray

that someone

out there

really does love me.


Author's Note: yeah, I was feeling a little despressed when I wrote this! Sometimes, especially when my parents and/or sister are being especially hateful towards the LGBTQ+ community, I feel like they don't actually love me. Maybe it's true.
