I Need

Someone to tell me I’m pretty
For I truly think I’m not
I despise everything about me
From my feet up to my face

Someone to tell me I’m a good person
For I truly think I’m not
I tear myself apart
Because deep inside I think I’m horrible

Someone to tell me I’m smart
For I truly think I’m not
Book smarts, sure I got them
But common sense I think I don’t

Someone to let me know I’m wanted
For I truly think I’m not
I just feel like a stray puppy
No one’s willing to adopt

Someone to be there for me
To let me know I’m not alone
I always seem easily dismissed
And forgotten

Someone to hold me
To let me know it’s all okay
To gather up my insecurities
And chase them all away

Someone to care about me
To know that I don’t just exist
To know that if I were to die today
I’d still be missed tomorrow
