I don't feel supported,
Or loved by your words.
Friends should make each other feel good, that's what we're here for.
I never hear "you're beautiful"
Or "you're perfect the way you are"
When I need it most,
When I'm struggling with my sense of self.
I don't need a pity party,
And I'm not an attention seeker,
But every now and then a nudge
From you
Would mean the world
To me.
I'm not as strong as I like to think,
I'm very apt to break,
And I've become weaker
Without the love I need to grow.
I don't want to lose you,
That's the worst that I can fear,
I just want you to gently remind me
That you care.
