We love others with such power and grace

We fall in love ever so desperately and passionately

But while we are infatuated with others flaws

We grow a deeper hatred for our own

We force our insecure minds to think that we are unlovable

That our flaws are incapable of being accepted 

That we are so much less than the people around us

The people that we pour every ounce of our bleeding soul into

Maybe our thoughts were poisoned with societies words

Or maybe we have never had anyone tell us anything different

I am here to say that you are worth no less than the entire universe

You are a human sculpture of your hopes and dreams

You are not defined by your mistakes

Your heart and soul are as beautiful as the first winter snowfall

Your life has meaning

Even when the meaning seems to get lost in the chaos

Live your life for yourself rather than for others 

I know that you crave the kind words of someone else to make you feel whole

I understand that you desperately want to be loved

But I want you to know that in order to be whole

You must receive love from no one other than yourself
