You Matter Poem by Damian Leonard

Everyone has their edge of a cliff.
You kissed someone you're ashamed of,
You cheated on a test,
You're bullied all the time,
You're gay.

None of that matters.

If you love you, you're stronger than anyone,
If you love you, you can take on the world,
If you love you, you matter.
Think of the things that you'll do in your life,
Then walk away from the edge.
Your life is what you want it to be.
You matter.
