A Letter to You
a poem for everyone who finds it
Hi you,
This one really stuck with me, so I want to take an extra second here to talk to the younger ones. And honestly, the grown-ups too, huddle in here.
I know I am no one influential or important
I am just a poet
And when I'm not a poet, I'm just an ordinary person
But here's the thing about ordinary poet people...
To us, words are a sacred kind of magic and we take extra care when we write to say exactly what we mean.
And when we say exactly what we mean, we take extra care to make sure what we are saying is honest.
So, honestly,
Exactly what I am trying to say here is:
To be wholly worthy and deserving of love and attention,
You do not have to DO anything special,
or BE anything other than
exactly who you are.
You ARE wholly worthy and deserving of love and attention even with all of your flaws
With all of your mistakes
With all of your "too-much-ness"
And especially your "not-enough-ness"
With all of your downfalls
Even when you fail or mess up
Even when you enforce your boundaries
Even when others are mad at you
Even when you're mad at yourself
There is NO PRICE YOU MUST PAY
to be wholly worthy and deserving of love and attention
I love you all
As you are
As you have been
As you could be
And as everything you will become
Have a wonderful day
