I was a mess.
but, you kept trying even though

the day you first met me
I can't believe you didn't
run away.

I was a mess.
but, you kept trying even though
I told you not to.

when you said I was special.
I couldn't believe

I was a failure.

you told me I could.
and one day, that was all I believed, even when
everyone told me I couldn't.

I meant something.
I no longer thought
I was worthless

sadness and pain
were never there; for I was filled with
all the beautiful things you saw

I couldn't believe it
when you called me perfect, but
somehow, you got into my brain

(If you read my comment backward, that is how Caroline originally has it in her book of poems. Really clever of her to do this)(less)
