T h r i v e

I do, Love
I do
But I'm not the child
that I once was

There's a strange softness now
because I have fallen
for myself

And while even I find
this peculiar
it's true-

I'm no longer desperate
for validation

I enjoy the loneliness, and I
t h r i v e there

I've learned that-
And I mean this
in the purest way-

I don't need to be ‘loved’

This makes me smile, though I am still waiting for my moment of self-love, or even appreciation. I say, good for you!
