I love you, but….
in love
there are no buts
no exceptions
only not enoughs
to put up with the parts of me
with which you disagree.
In love
there is conditional
and love without conditions
and I’m sick of the kind of love in which I have to prove that I am enough.
that I’m worthy
that I’m real
I just am
me
and I am tired
of rules and standards out of my control
created in fear fueled hatred of that which you do not know
and are too petrified to understand.
It is my job to love me, unconditionally, in this lifetime fraught with conditions. To heal my own hurts
so I do not need your limited ideologies
just open hearted spaces where I can be…
me.
