Have You Ever Been Loved?

Has anyone ever loved me? Have I only been a mute issue? Have I only brainwashed myself to think I was loved? Did I only love myself? Have you ever looked into the mirror and said you’re pretty or you’re cute? I was just meant to be me. Do you believe yourself? Maybe I was the only one that could convince myself that I was. That I was what? I always made excuses that I was something better than nothing. I feel alone in a world of other loved people. Have you ever been a piece of sand in a sea of pebbles? There is no way for anyone to find you… I always wished I was formed into a sand dollar so maybe the water would wash me up on the beach and someone would pick me up. If it was just for a moment I would feel the touch of a care. I guess that maybe I was meant to be just me, the small piece of sand that mixes with the water, the salt, and then just disappears. I always wish I was the fish that was caught on a hook; at least I would be seen. I'm gasping for air cause there’s no more water. I wish I was the smallest piece of sand. I’m actually here but no one sees me… Have you ever been loved?
