Mint Condition

You are not alone

I will be here for you

until you no longer want me to be

I will continue to 

remind you of your strengths

To make you feel important

and funny

and interesting

and perfectly imperfect

I will continue to remind you 

that it is okay to be who you are

no matter what, 

and that the right people will accept you

and you don't have to change a thing

for anyone, ever

I will remind you of all the wonderful things

you told me that I made you

But in case I am not here to remind you, 

after you have asked me to leave, 

Please remind yourself

that you are everything you need to be

and you never need to change

Because even when I am gone,

you will still be amazing

Remind yourself to take credit for the person you are.

You are perfect.

All on your own.
