Anytime Now

003. A lifetime

Someone once told me

That I was worthless

And didn't deserve to be

On this Earth

With all these people

With all the love

With all the care

With all the happiness

With all the people willing to talk

And the people willing to listen

With the smiles that lighten the day

With the laughs that can brighten a room

With the hugs that can warm your insides

With the jokes that can make your day

That someone was me

Because everyday

I tend to look in the mirror

And think to myself

I deserve so much better

Than what I make myself out to be

And every time

I build myself down

Like my own bully

Someone who torments me from my own mind

Until one day

I decided I didn't need that part of me anymore

I didn't want to hear everything I had to say
about myself

I wanted to only hear the nice things

The love

The smiles

The hugs

The laughs

So I destroyed the part of me that ruined me

The part that told me down day in, day out

...

It's really too bad

That I didn't know

That I ended up destroying every other part of me as well

In the end

I realized something that would have taken an entire lifetime to realize

And in a way

I guess it did take a lifetime

That I should love myself for all the faults

And all the flaws

Because they make me who I am

Who I became

That I should love me and all of me

That the part of me that told me

Everything that was wrong with me

Was still me

I guess that I realized

All these epiphanies seconds too late

And in the end

That's what it became.

...

The End.
