#youdeserveit
So many times,
life denied me
what I longed for,
what I hoped for,
what I thought was mine.
Sadness,
uncertainty,
wrapped around me.
Why others?
Why not me?
Time and again,
I thought I understood:
It wasn’t mine,
I didn’t deserve it.
But today,
under the sun,
I ask myself:
Why not?
I am worthy.
I know how to love,
I strive every day.
I respect,
I believe,
I share,
I give.
And those who know how to give,
also know how to receive.
I deserve everything in my life.
I deserve freedom.
I deserve health.
I deserve peace.
I deserve prosperity.
I deserve love.
I deserve happiness.
What are you denying yourself?

you define who you are
by maybes and not-so-bads
as boundaries disappear between us
I see a filled canvas of colour
every brush stroke placed perfectly
you are the epicentre of art
truth and beauty collide
but-
some truth you have yet to uncover:
no one of us is complete
everything disowned can be recovered
your inhibitions are fantasy
you cannot maintain a status quo
that makes you unhappy
or expect happiness in the static
instead, invest in yourself
you need time to grow
a thousand seeds in a desert
will never create a garden
just as a thousand compliments
will never bloom if you don't
first learn
to love yourself
