i need you.

There will be times when I need you to love me a little louder, especially on the days that I don’t love myself.

I’ll need you to yell over all of the voices in my head that tell me that I’m not good enough, pretty enough, or worthy enough.

I’ll need you to speak up for me when the words won’t escape my throat.

I’ll need you to give me pep talks to get out of bed.

I’ll need you to tell me that you believe in me when I give up on myself.

I’ll need you to hold my hand and keep me grounded when my world starts to spin.

I’ll need you to be my best friend when it feels like I have no one to turn to.

Most of all, I’ll need you when this nightmare is over.
