I Don't Believe You

I don’t believe you.

When you tell me something must be wrong with you, 

that you feel broken or less than good enough,

and that you are the reason you are alone.

I don’t believe you.

You see yourself through the cracked lenses,

of another persons life and some how expect me

to see you the same way they did.

You don’t believe me,

when i say you’re everything you should be

and that all the things and all the pieces

are in all the right proportions.

You don’t believe me.

I see you with my own eyes, 

unclouded by the self doubt you feel

and what i see is clear:

You’re beautiful. 

A wonder.

A treasure that could never be replaced.

You, yes you, just as you are.

You are someone I wish to know. 

You are someone I place value in. 

YOU are someone that a person like me,

would love to call my own.

You don’t believe me when I tell you these things,

and I will never believe those things about you.
