A New Hope

But I love him

Though he hurts my soul

Am I important?

Or is the other version of me who he wants?

 

But his hoodie is soft

Even if he isn’t mine yet

Am I good enough?

Or does he even want me at all?

 

Summer camp came

And his name was thrown around

Is he good for you?

Your happiness is nowhere to be found

 

You need to love yourself

They said to me

Is he worth the self-doubt?

I didn’t think so

 

You need to leave

I told him quietly

But why should I go?

Because my hope now in Christ
