You don’t get to determine my value nor my worth

You don’t get to determine if I should be on this earth

You don’t get to determine my good days or my bad

You don’t get to determine if I’ll be happy or sad

You don’t get to determine my person-ality

You don’t get to determine my heart within me

…nor my reality

When will you get it?

…I don’t know

When will you understand it?

…I don’t know?

What I DO know is…what matters…and WHAT matters is…

you see me

you hear me

you respect me

YOU love ME…still
