As You Are

You don’t have to be productive to exist
You don’t have to achieve to deserve
You don’t have to perform to be accepted

You don’t have to be special to be worthy
You don’t have to be extraordinary to be valuable
You don’t have to be decorated to be seen

You don’t have to become to be whole
You don’t have to give yourself up to be loved
You don’t have to pretend to be safe

You don’t have to be numb to survive
You don’t have to escape to feel joy
You don’t have to delay to be satisfied

You are enough as you are.
