Description
Out of over six billion people that roam the planet, what gives you, as an individual, the right to be loved?You know you're not the best. You never will be. Your life has been a wreck from the beginning, and all that time you've been running to the point of exhaustion. Running from your family. Responsibility. Yourself. This is one race track that has no finish line, my dear. You're like a bird without legs. Always on the move, never landing to take a rest. The only time you'll touch ground is when you die!
And don't even get me started on all those shames you know you'll never tell anyone. Those little secrets that eat away at your sanity when you wake in the middle of the night and cry yourself back into oblivion.
You know you're worthless. You've always known that.
Who on earth could love someone like you?
I'm inclined to disagree. You see, somebody does love me. And by thinking that I would be loved because I deserved to shows that you don't understand the concept of love in the first place.
And what is that?
Love is irrational. Wild. Unpredictable. And completly unapologetic in its intensity. You're loved simply for who you are. Not because of anything you did or said. As you are, you are loved beyond all measure. I can't say it any clearer than that.

Hey thanks for sharing this with me and for your comment! I really like this, it's a beautiful image of God's love. Great job.
I wrote you an insanely, insanely long response to that comment on my poem "Decimation" in explanation of what my poem means. I think the tone was lost in translation, I just didn't get it across the way I meant to, but I really want the message in it to get across so, well, I wrote a novel for you. And at the end, I hope it makes sense and you get a sense of what I felt while writing it and how I want to hold on to that feeling--if you ever want to give me a poke and remind me, I'd be appreciative. I'd do the same, we're told to walk in fellowship after all, helping each other along and God knows I need reminding a lot of the time!
Anyway, have a good one.

thankyou - that means a lot. i wasn't sure i was getting the message across because most of the time i have an internal momolouge that contains attachments or feelings that you can't put on paper. but it looks like i succeeded this time!
again, thankyou!

No problem. Yeah I think we all struggle with wondering if we got "our" point or idea across. But sometimes the message that others take from it themselves is even more amazing than what we could ever imagine. Really awesome work!
