who told you
you were not beautiful?

does that mean
not worthy of their time?

but anyway
they stated as such

if anything
their actions proved otherwise

but no matter
I’m trying not to mind

that I was never real
figment of imagination

whatever you cast me
I betrayed love

and cast heroes into new moons
beached jellyfish

I’m learning to gather bones
painting a canvas

instead of
reading newsprint

sculpture of messy clay
ultimate opus

good gold
honest trinket

bees’ honey
I recognize my self

ageless blue
flame

in all that is
ugly

small practice
sunburst navel design

I write
Because I feel
I feel almost every emotion that runs through my body
Overwhelms the being

I feel
Because I have a heart
A heart to contain an important someone
Protecting his too

I have a heart
Because I live...

I live
Because....
*I'm worthy
Worthy to the people who needs me
My emotions to understand them
My heart to love them
My life to exist with them

You're in a never ending cycle of telling yourself you are never quite good enough, asking "What am I lacking?" What a trick you play on yourself, and it seems you have lost yourself while you question your worth.
Come to me, let me help build you up. Feel me right here as I put your insecurities to sleep. Let me remind you even at your worst that you will always be enough, remind you that you are deserving, and that you are worthy, until you believe it for yourself.

-Rebecca Cerrone

Something pretty,
but not exactly bright.
Something dim,
among all the lights.
Something catchy,
if only you learned
to stop looking for things
you would only squint at.
Something worthy,
of all the time
you've neglected to set aside
just because you thought that rushing
wouldn't leave you behind.

Looking at you tonight, I feel blessed
How did a guy like me, end up with you?
I can’t figure it out, you have me hooked
Wherever you go, I’ll be right by your side
Never worry about being alone, in this world
I’ll always be there for you, this… I promise

Sometimes, I may not show my true feelings
But know this much, I love you beyond words
I get lost, trying to find the right thing to say
I stumble and feel like part of me begins to fall
Your beautiful smile knocks me off my feet
I feel at times, I’m not worthy of your love

As I lay down to sleep, I pray for your safety
I never want to lose what we have, together
I don’t think I could ever be with anyone else
We have too much history together, too much love
Since day we met, I’ve become a better person
Not out late, drinking with the guys, spending cash

So when I say you’re the one I want to be with
Know that I really mean it, know it’s not some lie
You keep me strong, when I hit my weakest point
Just knowing you’re by my side, I’m not scared
I can be myself, never having to show off to anyone
You see me for who I am, and love me just the same

I never deemed myself as someone important, never thought of myself as someone worthy of acknowledgement from the world. I knew I wasn't the brightest star or the prettiest sky. I always thought of myself as the one hidden beneah the clouds. It was I who was always a shadow, a beautiful darkness that not everyone will come to know. There was nothing that amazing about me to those who couldn't truly see me, and yet I still manage to take comfort that only those who are perceptive and worthy enough will be able to see the true beauty that shines from within myself. It's exhilarating to know that I was found from the people who actually saw me as who I am, and not just the fabrication of the brightness shining from the moon, hiding its very, lonely dark side.
