Love my worth the way you love me.

"You told me the other day that i’m too blunt, too rough,

that I need to think out better ways to say things before they come out of my mouth.

Why create a euphemism or anecdote

for something that is already honest and

came to me the way it needs to be conveyed?

After all these years of shoving myself down

to make room for pleasing other people,

i’m finally saying the blunt,

overly-honest words that always wanted to claw past my teeth.

I won’t go back into that box,

I won’t bury myself down just to spare your feelings.

I can’t go back, and I won't."

Love my growth the way you love me.
