thank you

boy from 2017

By princess jasminePublished 4 years ago 1 min read

tell me i am enough

tell me how much you want me

i often look at myself in the mirror doubting my worth

i am relying on you to tell me all the things i am too blind to see

convince me that i am the most perfect being you have ever laid eyes on

but you dont

you give me nothing

this is how i learn to live with myself only and this is how i began to learn how to love myself

maybe i am just the bootleg version of you i am sorry but how could i not want to compare myself to the most purest soul out there when i first read you i realised i was not alone for the first time i never described myself as lonely

-i want to thank you
