Nobody loves me.
I’ll never believe that
rescuing me is a worthwhile dream.
I am unworthy of love,
and, you can’t convince me
I am wanted and loved.
Just look at me now.
Scrawny and wet from a lake,
I clawed out of a burlap bag.
Nobody even noticed me.
Why would they?
nobody would help me,
reduced to skin and bones,
I should have died in that lake,
Drowning should have been my fate.
I’ll never be given love.
Don’t try to convince me.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
