Being Loved
Being loved is a simple need
Whether it be intimate or friendly
You feel a sense of assurance when you are loved
Like your place, in the world, is whole.
When someone turns their back to your love you feel empty
You seek out someone to fill this gaping hole inside yourself.
Some seek out the one who hurt them,
And some rise above their pain
Search for someone who can treat them better
I applaud those for their courage
Because it is scary to walk into the unknown
We don’t know the love we may receive
And it can be scary
We don’t think we are worth more the love we are handed
But that is where people are wrong
Everyone is worth more
You do not deserve to be hurt
You deserve to be loved
Just as much as the next person
So rise above the pain inflicted to you
Walk away
Become better
Because I know everyone can
Even me
