I Am a Girl

November 4, 2024

I don't need you
to tell me I'm pretty
I know I am
But it helps to hear it

I don't need you
to tell me you love me
I already love me
But more love can't hurt

I don't need you
to tell me I'm a girl
I already am one
But sometimes it's hard

I don't need validation
I'm learning how to validate myself
Even though it's tough
But I'm going to keep trying

Because I know that

I am a lovely, pretty girl
