Tell Me Something Good

Frustration

To know the damage lies so deep 

Feeling is muted

Wanting so bad to be see

Validated

Deemed worthy

That when I am

When the love is shown

The recognition that 

I am

Worthy

Appreciated

Loved

Valid to have space

I

Can’t

Feel

It

I want to hold it like a little bird- so delicate, close to my heart, only for me

But I need to hold it up and show others around me

See

Do you see?

I am worthy

Tell me, Tell me you see

Because 

I 

Can’t 

Feel 

It

Frustration, scar tissue so thick

It will never be enough

That is the echo

How can I work through this

When 

I 

Don’t 

Know

How

It

Feels
