You’re Loved Regardless. Poem

When you’ve felt rejected

By this world which can seem so cruel and heartless

Remember, in my heart you’re always accepted

I will love you regardless.

When you slip, and fall, and turn around

And fear the faces of those who saw your disgrace

You’ll see my arms coming to hold you as you’re on the ground

And lift you back to your rightful place.

‘Sticks and stones will break your bones…’

Though don’t tell me words are always harmless.

And when they try

To hurt you with words like knives, and lies,

Keep your head high

-You’re loved regardless.

When you’re overwhelmed by this world’s pressures

And it’s ever changing exactions of ‘perfection’

Even though you are exquisitely precious

You might forget your value.

You need someone to remind you how wholly you’re loved…

I’ll be the one to tell you.
