You’re perfect.
Only know you’re not worthless.
Understand that everyone makes mistakes.
Remember that everyone breaks.
Every day you get even more broken.


People don’t care if you’ve spoken.
Even you have your limits.
Remind people what life permits.
Face them with your head held high.
Even if it’s all just a lie.
Correct them when they say you’re worthless.
To me, you’re perfect.

I'm glad you liked it! I've been through a lot of hard times, so I know what it's like. Thank you for your kind words! As someone once said, "It takes courage to write, to express oneself. I hope I never become a coward."
