Oh and there you are in my newsfeed
Popping up with your sexy smile
Even though we are friends
I was interested in more
And you politely declined
And there I witness that part of me
That yearns for validation
Oh if you liked me
Then I would be sexy too
And so we do this
For I know I’m not alone
Searching the world for people
To validate our self-worth
Temporary highs, we gain
And yet, inevitably
If I adhere to the old way
Of validation from the outside
When they don’t like me
Or I say something “wrong”
I come crashing down
But everytime I crash
I grow stronger and smarter
For I dont like that feeling at all
Here I am, in all my glory, whole
Like you, like us all,
And I can no longer afford,
To wiggle my way into your graces
That are so temporary
That are so… unsatisfying
I’m amazing
Not because you say I am
Or don’t
Not because I’m better than
Or less
But because I’m a child of the Universe
With stars running through my veins
And a beating cosmic heart lives inside of me
A testament
To the unconditional love
That I am
