I Don’t Have to Be

Posted in Healing, Self worth, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 24, 2015| 2 Comments »

I don’t have to beI don't have to be good to be lovable
anything other than me

I don’t have to earn
anyone’s approval

I don’t have to fit
anyone’s expectations

I don’t have to receive
anyone’s validation or praise

I don’t have to mold myself I don't have to be thin to be lovable
into what society
says I should be

I don’t have to get permission
to like what I like
to say what I think
to be happy
with who I am
right now
this very
minuteI don't have to be successful to be lovable

For I don’t want to waste my life
having never known
who I am
what I’m meant to do
or how I’m meant to live

And so I choose
to see myself gently
to see myself lovingly

through the lens
of the Creator
who made meI don't have to be healthy to be lovable
exactly how I am

who gave me
every experience in my life
to learn and grow through

who gave me
every talent and gift
to share pure light
with the world

who gave meI don't have to be popular to be lovable
every flaw and shadow
to help me to remember

To be kind to myself
To be compassionate
To be filled with grace

And to learn
to love little ol’
lovable me.

Too many things to read
Too many words to absorb

Too many things to write
Too many words to express

Too many things to do
Too many hopes to fulfill

Too many things to say
Too many people to help

Too many  things to achieve
Too many resolutions to realize

Too many expectations.

Who puts all this on me?
How did I get to this place?
Who is responsible?
How can it be fixed?
Who must take action?

Oh, Me.
All me.

So in one moment
with one choice

I can hit “Delete”
I can say “No”

I can throw them away
and change all the expectations.
