i think i’m getting better  

slowly but surely  

i’m learning to not need people  

in the way that’s left me hurt so many times  

i’m learning to acknowledge that i’m important  

even if i’m not being treated like the most special person in the world  

anyone out there who’s reading this:  

if you feel like you aren’t important,  

like nobody cares, like you don’t matter  

i promise  

you matter so so much  

to me, to those you talk to,

to the world, who would mourn the loss of a child if you decided to leave  

i promise, there is love in this world  

it just doesn’t always feel like it  

but there is and it’ll show itself to you soon  

i promise
