For the first time I actually feel Unworthy To be someone else’s. I feel As if I dont deserve you. I'm struggling with an image that I’ve created and allowed myself to become. I feel as though if you would choose me, you would be settling. Somehow. I now understand the phrase “out of my league”. Because, When im honest, I have a tendency to think that about you. The truth is, I’ve put you on this pedestal, the pedestal of perfection. Even in my mind the pedestal wobbles and tilts. I know youre not perfect- no one is- yet I’ve built this pedestal for you. In my mind, and for now, you are flawless and beautiful. Soon enough, though, the pedestal will fall and you’ll come crashing down. Hopefully, Maybe, You’ll decide I’m not out of your league. Maybe you’ll decide I’m worth it, despite my insecurities Despite my Flaws. If I’m lucky, Or if it’s His plan When the pedestal falls, Maybe you’ll land in my arms, And I in yours, As we allow our own imperfections To make us perfect Together.
