I deserve a love
Not for the battles I've fought
Or the scars I wear
But for the simple breaths I take
The silent song my heart hums
I know this
We are all worthy of love
Not as a reward
But as a right
As the sky deserves the sun and the stars
"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love affection."
-Gautama Buddha
This poem is from my book, Fragments of Us.
