open sesame

i'm slamming doors.

i'm a lot of things, as everyone is.
me, firstly.
whether or not a person has a million things 'wrong' with them
or things people would not like in them
there is always something infinitely amazing within.
a reason
that person
is loved
and
a reason
that person
exists.

through the insanely long list of things i could say
of things i am sure no one loves me for
things i know are unlovable in every possible way,
somewhere in the thickly wooded forest
lies the sparkling jewel
i have always known
is me.

and whatever it is i am
is going to be enough
for someone
to find the key
and,
if it fits,
unlock the door

so fuck leaving it open
and trying to lure anyone in
