Because You Love Me

---

Because you love me

I no longer want to die each day

I no longer cry myself to sleep

I'm no longer hidden behind a mask

I no longer need to cut myself

Because you love me

I can smile again

I feel good about myself

I know someone cares

I have reason to live

Because you love me

Their words don't hurt anymore

Their opinions mean nothing

They're easier to ignore

They don't control my thoughts

Because you love me

I don't stress over the small stuff

I don't need to dress up every day

I don't think I'm worthless

I don't pretend to smile

Because you love me

I am finally happy

And I am finally complete
