I lived a large
part of my youth
carrying things
that didn’t
belong to me
Indeed I’ve carried
their loads for
too **** long
The load of how
they felt about me
the load of what
they’ve said about me
the load of how
They’ve perceived me
for far too long
These load was never
mine to carry
to begin with
Today I am free
free at last
from criticism
fears , insecurities
and other people’s
opinion
These loads
are no longer mine
to carry
Regardless
how desperate
and foolish
they may seem

you are love
by the heart of your essence soul
you are love
by the way your honesty
could spark within you.
by the time you felt love,
whether it’s interest that got you
to build yourself out there,
whether clouds that shift
your head to the peaceful care of dreams,
or whether the sun
that makes you so bright
that people shine with you.
that’s how much,
you earn that love from you
because you deserve it
anyway
whether you do something
or not do anything about it.
love always goes from
yourself.
it always start from you,
you create it.
you believe it.
you admire it.
you lead it.
you take care of it.
and you love you,
for being real and kind.
