Beautiful words
Are often said to me
Not knowing whether they are real or something said just to get to me
You see I eat them up because, let’s face it they were what I needed to be me
To keep moving on, pretending to be strong and without a care in the world
But the truth is

I was broken,

I was hurt,

I was scared,

I didn’t love me………

Coming to think of it
I had never loved me
I remember always being secluded, deluded thinking that I do not need anyone,
Since I was already different I didn’t try to fit in
All alone, cold with nothing and no one to hold on to

I decided to love be free and just be me
