We deserve

Look at me

Thinking positively

Back to who I was

But then again not who I was at all

I can’t believe I’m sitting here right now

Crying tears that aren’t sad

I’m here

And I’m alive

And I’m breathing

I am human

I’ve made mistakes

We all have

But life doesn’t stop for you

And it doesn’t stop for me

The only way is forward

Everyday I’m just going to get better

Take that life

Who’s kicking your *** now?

Yep it’s me and I’m ready for you this time

I am a beautiful person

I’ve made mistakes but that only makes me better

I can find me again and I know I will

It will take time but its possible

I don’t have to wallow anymore

I can embrace the sun

There will still be downs but I will depend on myself

And whoever else I need

To get me out of those downs

Because although necessary

They don’t need to be prolonged

I’m going to get better

I’m like wine and as I age, I will be all the greater

I deserve this

I pulled myself out of a great big **** hole

And now I’m here

Happy again

So now I have a plan

I will egg myself on

I’m going to do this

I deserve to be happy

With myself and with the people around me

I deserve to be healthy

I deserve to love my body and myself for who I am

I deserve to push myself

I deserve to talk loud and animated

I deserve to be opinionated

I deserve to be liked

I deserve to not hate myself or put myself down

I deserve to be weird

I deserve to have hope

I deserve to be free

I deserve to live

And I deserve to be me

So if you cant handle what I deserve

And you don’t know that you deserve it to

Then that is not my fault

And if you cant love or appreciate the person I am

Then you deserve to go **** yourself
