when that somebody seems to understand when that somebody does not seem to be struggling when that somebody is loved by everyone and that somebody says yes yes yes to everyone’s demands It doesn’t take much to love somebody, especially when you don’t hear the haunting voices echoing throughout one’s brain beneath a smile that says “I’m okay” make believe ‘I’m sane’ make believe living make believe love make believe hope make believe true It doesn’t take much to love somebody, when perfection is all that you want to see when they say it’s not you, it's only me yet one look at your scars is all that it takes to make you believe you’re worthless, worth less, worth
nothing
It doesn’t take much to love somebody, and yet we throw around the words hate, bigot, stupid, fat, ugly, like we owned them, to ourselves and stab our hearts thinking maybe it’s worth the pain and maybe, just maybe, the only thing we're truly worth of is the
pain
It doesn’t take much to love somebody, and yet it does because we’re so broken, and the last thing we’d ever want to love is ourselves and so we lash out at everything we see shining, smiling, so different from the you you’ve trapped underneath that mask just waiting to be seen, waiting to be hugged waiting to be known waiting to be
loved
It doesn’t take much to love somebody so why can’t you to do it to yourself?
