I don’t need anyone to relate to me
I don’t need anyone to understand what I’m going through
I don’t need anyone to show any empathy
But I need someone to acknowledge
That I am not okay
I need someone to just be there for me
I need a shoulder to lean on
When I can’t stand on my own
I need someone to listen
Even when it’s hard to form words
I need someone to say it’s okay
When my whole world feels like it’s not
I need someone who can sit with me while I cry
Even when they have better things to do
I need someone who I know I can rely on
When I have lost the trust of so many others
I need someone to be the friend I try to be to others
I don’t need someone to get everything I am feeling
I just need someone to care
Someone to love
Someone who loves me
Maybe then I’ll feel a little less worthless
