tell me I'm beautiful.
i want to be myself with you, honest
really.
but i'm afraid, so afraid
that you won't want me any more if
i sing silly songs that don't make sense and sound horrible
and i giggle too loudly for no apparent reason
and i snore in my sleep
and i'm afraid that you won't love me more if i just relax
and my hair isn't brushed
and my legs aren't exactly shaved
and my feet smell bad
and i'm not wearing any makeup
and i'm wearing my pajamas with Bob the Builder on them that I've worn since fifth grade.
so kiss me,
though my breath smells like the chicken pasta with broccoli and onions I had for dinner last night
and tell me I'm beautiful.
