52/365 : lovable

is resting cheating?
no. resting is not cheating.
it is resting.

is eating cheating?
is drinking cheating?
is not going to yoga cheating?

no. it is eating.
it is drinking.
it is not going to yoga.

and it is really,
truly,
honestly
okay.

because there's nothing
i have to do
to prove that
i'm lovable.

let me repeat that for myself...
lovingly...

there is nothing
i have to do...
softens eyes, lowers shoulders
smiles like looking at a child
to prove that
i'm lovable.

i just am.
just as is.

tired poems,
massive doubts,
self-hating shouts and all.

still lovable.
