I chose to be

In love.
I want this

My place

Who am i to demand reminders
Of my worth
Of why someone could potentially care for me
Or love me, even (scoffs)
Who am i to ask
'What is it about me'
Or
'Do i make you happy'
Who am i to expect
The fullest heart from anyone at all
To be cared for boundlessly
And without limit
To have concern peppered
To be reminded that my existence affects even one person out there
That one heart is touched
That one soul is glad i exist
But who am i
Someone who hasnt done anything to
Justify receiving all these validations

regardless,
i'll continue loving without second thoughts
if anyone should ever doubt their place in anyone's life it shall only be me and me alone
people should know their worth, without being asked for anything in return
