Things That Matter

Kindness in faces of familiarity are the most dangerous to love.

“One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way. As someone who matters. As someone who can make a difference in this world.”

“It’s okay if I’m not your favorite chapter you have written, but I hope you sometimes smile when you flip back to the pages I was still apart of.”

“Do you know what people really want? Everyone, I mean. Everybody in the world is thinking: I wish there was just one other person I could really talk to, who could really understand me, who’d be kind to me. That’s what people really want, if they’re telling the truth.”

It’s the way she looks at me captures my heart like a polaroid picture.

“My eyes burn From the warmth of years That drip down my face As I see the truth leave your lips And as they tell me I’m not enough to be Desirable as I wish to be For my looks are not like hers My thighs are not thin My belly is chubby Is my body a sin? You say my personality’s good Could what you’re saying be true? Then why is it not enough for you? Why is my body not enough for… Why am I not enough? When I am everything else. I’m healthy But that doesn’t count does it? I’m friendly But really, who cares for those things? I’m loyal, I’m honest, I’m strong and compelled But why would you want me When my body isn’t swell? Right? Why would you want me in your right state of mind? Cause it really makes sencr that you’d leave me behind And why? Because I’m not like her? Why? Because I don’t look like her? No. So let me tell you for the very first time You do not have the right to say that That I’m not good enough because that is a lie Because I am good enough. My body is good enough. You do not get to tell me otherwise.”
