If I said I just needed to hear those words
You'd say I'm a stereotypical writer
Or a totally uncreative plagiarist
In this moment I'm not a poet
Just a broken person starving for acceptance
Rejected, abandoned, worthless
I'm sick of my definition
My heart is longing for your approval
Broken pieces would be repaired
If you would just care
Can't you notice something positive?
I want to be worthy
Am I so revolting
you can't even set your eyes upon me?
I crave a basic sentence
With the same intensity
a drowning man craves air
Fill my lungs with life
Let me breathe you in
Please just say
I love you
