Worthy
Perhaps
With time
I’ll be able
To change myself
Enough
To be worthy
Of your love
Because
I know
Who I am
Right now
Isn’t even
Worthy enough
To be
In your presence

They See
I get more solace
In a day
From strangers online

You just speak
Holding me
To higher standards
Than you hold yourself
Judging me
For acting
How you act
Hating me
For being
Who I am
