I Love the Way I am Beginning to Love Myself
Without You
I love the way I am beginning to love me
Unapologetically
I don't need your permission
Your validation
Only my own
I love the way I am beginning to love me
Because you are not here
To stunt my growth
You are not here to spew your hatred onto me
You are not here, weighing me down
Making me drown in self loathing
I love the way i am beginning to love me
All by my lonesome
I remember when you said i would not make it
That the loneliness would be too loud
But I survived
Without you
I am swimming in the serene waters of self love
I love the way I am beginning to love me

A Glaring Omission
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.
