What You Are Owed
Do you feel as if you deserve more than you receive?
Philautia
I could never accept it
But I knew that it was there, somewhere
Locked in a safe, trapped in a maze of
Denial and self-deprecation
It's shriveled up and neglected after years
And years of shoving it aside.
I used to feel it when I was younger,
Embrace it even,
When I was a different person.
I used to think that I wasn't any better than anyone,
That I wasn't special enough to have it.
Yet, as I grow, I am learning.
Slowly accepting myself for who I am,
And who I should have always been.
I know it will take time, maybe my whole life
Before I can truly believe.
But maybe someday
I can accept the love that I should've given myself
When I refused to give.
