The Becoming

Worth that needs no witnesses

By Marcus HillPublished 11 months ago • 1 min read

I don’t need to prove I am worthy —

I was worthy before the world knew my name.

I don’t need permission to grow,

to rest,

to arrive in pieces and soften on purpose.

If it’s meant —

may it meet me whole.

And if it’s delayed —

may patience become my shelter,

not my fear.

What is for me

will not require me

to shrink, chase, or ache for scraps.

May I trust that love —

true love —

will know me when it sees me…

and I will be ready

because I chose to love myself first

Words speak louder than anything on earth, Keep writing! Keep speaking!
