Feelings of life

Summary:

A place for me to share my poems. All of them prompted by real emotions and experiences. I take solace in writing so if these can help one person the way that they've helped me, I will feel accomplished.

Chapter 1: Body

Chapter Text

But if I'm not worth my body then I don't what I'm worth.

They say I should love me, will I ever learn?

Cause I still hold my value in others' words.

Seek validation from them or else I crash and burn.

No sense of self just what they tell me I am.

Do they only like me when I'm useful?

Will they leave when I'm helpless?

If I cover it up am I still attractive?

They only love me in the dead of night and I know that they'll leave come morning light.

But I do it anyway. What can I say?

Because if I'm not worth my body then I don't what I'm worth.

They say I should love me, will I ever learn?

Cause I still hold my value in others' words.

Seek validation from them or else I crash and burn.

When our clothes are off, I dont have to think about it; and I finally feel wanted.

So I give it all away. I give it all away.

And when the night is dark I push down the shame.

And it's vicious cycle, I give my body away then feel like discarded trash.

Is this full circle? Will I always feel this way? Maybe,

I'm not worth my body, I'm worth my soul.

I love me, at least I'm starting to learn.

And their words can't hurt me if I don't let them in

Don't need their validation to know who I am.
