You know that whole
Perks-of-Being-a-Wallflower,
“You-accept-the-love-you-think­-you-deserve”
nonsense?
I don’t believe in that ****.
Because maybe some people accept the people
that display their utmost flaws.
Maybe some people see beyond that.
Maybe some people accept love
from those who need it the most,
Those to whom it is the hardest to give,
Because they know that person is doing their best.
That, to me,
is real love.
And just because you accept someone
doesn’t mean you believe in less worth for yourself.
