"YOUR SELF-WORTH?"

Written 2019-05-01

Never judge anyone

‘though I couldn’t help

when you decided to ridicule me

for being surrounded by boys

I chose to call friends

I know my self-worth

not defined by the number of admirers

but how I carry me around

With or without anyone

no difference

Look in the mirror.

What’s your worth?

Do you only feel pretty

everytime a guy says you’re lovely

just so you don’t feel lonely?

Not me.

I don’t need to prove you or anybody.

When love is meant to be,

I’ll leave enough room for it

out of my personal will

instead of insecurity...
