Self Love Poem

You are fragile 

      Shattered pieces of glass

So sharp it cuts on either side

      To yourself, and to others who may want to be close

You are scared, terrified to break anymore

      Clinging to your biting pieces with everything you’ve got

But what you fail to see is the pieces that make you wonderful

      The pieces that make you selfless and brave

That you do everything you can to help the ones you care for

      And usually do not comprise yourself in that attempt

You are incredibly brave and resilient

      Despite everyone you’ve lost, everything you’ve been through

You have endured past it

Each one of those pieces is an indicator of survival

      Each piece can be repaired, glued together with titanium

You are not the waste of effort and space you think that you are

      You are not an alien blob waiting for the next person to use them

You are light, a sunflower in full bloom, a human in the difficult world

      You deserve the love and care you put out to others
