Your Value

Son, do not lose yourself in the chase,

For a glance, a smile, a fleeting face.

Not every heart you meet is true,

Some just enjoy the game, not you.

She may laugh, she may adore,

Then walk away like never before.

While you are still clinging to the spark,

She has lit another in the dark.

It is not your fault, it is just the tide,

Of hearts that never choose to bide.

So do not dress your worth in show or flair,

Let silence speak what is truly there.

Your value is not in what you give

To one who barely chose to live

Inside the depth you tried to share,

She was never really there.

So stand your ground, do not bow or bend,

Impress no one, be your own best friend.

For when you stop the need to please,

You walk this world with deeper peace.

P.S. Some lessons about love sting, but they also teach us to guard our worth.

And while you learn to value yourself more deeply, remember this, care for yourself in the smallest ways too.

That is why I offer Aloe Lips with Jojoba, a simple lip balm for cracked lips and heavy days.
