Maybe if you stopped putting so much love and effort into other people,
you would have more love for yourself.
The birds;
listen to them.

They have been
trying to tell us something,
all along.
You are not alone. You are surrounded by people who care about you, even though you may not know it. There are people who care about you; people who you do not even care about. In these moments when you do feel truly alone, you have yourself. That is the one person that you can always count on. You will always have you. You know what is right and you know what is wrong. You know who you are, whether you are sure of it or not. You are you, and you are beautiful. You have potential and intelligence and most importantly, you have beauty. Beauty in your eyes and beauty in your heart and beauty in your soul. Your soul is pure and real. The blood in your veins in real. You are real. You control your happiness. You control who is in your life. You are in control of your entire life. An entire life is in your hands. You need to realize that this is amazing. You are not living for other people. It does not matter if you have 20 friends or 7 friends or 1 friend or 0 friends. All that matters is yourself. You are only living for yourself and what happens in your future is up to you. You are not like everyone else. You are who you know yourself to be, not who everyone thinks you are. You are emotional and scared.. and beautiful. You are perfect. You deserve true happiness, just like everyone else does, and you will get it. You will find it, and it will stay with you for as long as you let it. But, once you shut the door in its face, it might be a long time before you meet with it again. Cherish it. Remember that you, are everything. You are beautiful and perfect and just as important as everyone around you. You are worth more than having 5 close friends, you are worth more than a dysfunctional family, you are worth more than a math test with a mark below 50 and you are worth more than all the diamonds that are scattered within the depths of this earth. It is time for you to realize this. You are beautiful. You are intelligent. You are capable. You are worth it. You, are utterly perfect.
You are a rose.

You have your thorns,
and you have your beauty.

You made me bleed,
but I still loved you, anyway.
I can't sleep unless I'm
surrounded by pillows or
surrounded by you;
I prefer you, though.
He
He
tip toes
across my heart
leaving
nothing but
invisible kisses

He
is mine
just, in secret
wishing
to be
much more
Despite my knowledge
of failed relationships
part of me still wants
to be with you.

Part of me still wants
to clutch your hand in mine,
and listen to the heartbeat
inside your chest.

Despite my experience
with broken relationships,
part of me still wants
to call you mine.
