Note to my inner child

You’ve got a good heart.
Even when you make mistakes and hold on too long,
Even when you try your best and it doesn’t work out,
Even when your trust and heart were broken yet you choose love over hate,
Even when you snap because you’re angry and frustrated with the world,
Even when you’re annoyed with yourself and others,
Even when you’re caught up in an anxious loop that you thought you had conquered,
Even when you fall asleep with tears in your eyes,
Even when you feel like a burden to everyone when you finally ask for help,
Even when you’re caught up in the past and what could have been because you always see potential,
Even when you are so stuck in your head and you’re making everything about you and then feel guilty for for needing a shoulder to cry on,
Even when you second guess and doubt yourself,
Even when you have a critical self voice that says you could do more,
Do you even see how full of light you are?
It can be easy to forget you have a good and trusting heart,
So a gentle reminder,
Even when people don’t or can’t show up for you,
That you are the embodiment of love and you are loved,
You are trying your best to navigate this world, and the shitshow of being human, And I SEE you for it,
Even when others do not.
