Please enjoy the poem.

I used to fall victim to the hands of societal convention

so sure of myself yet still longing to be accepted

too many days I sat staring out a window

awaiting others to deliver their opinion of my actions

like a UPS package

but I got tired of contorting my personality to fit comfortably into a mould

had to catch my breath from chasing the world’s validation

the overexertion of my identity became bad for my health

so I stopped day dreaming

about love letters from others

and started crafting them to myself

to: me

love, me
