We'Re All Awkward
When I woke up this morning,
I didn't expect anything from anyone
but what I received was far greater
than any gift I could be given.
I received life,
the drive to live and survive
knowing that my happiness
isn't all that matters
and making somebody else smile
is just as valuable
as a secret smile or a silent giggle to myself.
Life's not all about being your best
or looking your best,
sometimes it's about your weakness,
about letting go of the idea
that you have to fit
into some cookie cutter mold
that you make for yourself.
Sometimes,
life is about being yourself,
waking up in the morning
with your hair sticking up,
your eyes crusted shut
and loving who you are
despite what the decrepit
mirror may try to tell you.
Something which is equally
as valuable as all of these things
is the ability to love someone else
despite all of their dank defects as well.
