Please understand that I am here and I am doing my best.
That I fall short of my own expectations,
plenty of times.
I am flawed and I am stumbling and
there are times when I wonder if
any of this is worth it so please,
do not ever think me so strong that I do not need your kindness.
Do not hate me for the mistakes I make,
or for when I get angry sometimes.
All I really want is to be seen as something better than what I see in myself
