Worthy
There should always come a moment
When you stop being in love with a fantasy
And cherish your reality
When you stop being grateful
For scraps of affection
From inattentive lovers
For whom you are an afterthought--a blip in their
attention
There should come a day
When you see your self-worth
And feel your inner strength
When you realize your value
And taste the sweetness of freedom
From abandoning the projections of perfection
You naively put on others
Who were always unworthy
There should come a time
When you stop lowering your standards
And stop remaining where you are unseen
For the true glory that you are
Take control of your heart
Take control of your life
Demand better
Because you are worthy
