Feeling of Acceptance

Do you want to be accepted?
It's such a concept
But do you know before we want to be accepted by others
We have to accept ourselves?
Do we deem we are less significant than others?
Where do you base that?
God has created you and I as equal
So is everyone else
What God deems important cannot be insignificant in the eyes of someone - least of all - you
Don't short sell yourself
You are so worthy that you don't even know it
You are worthy to me and I can name a few others if I have a mind to
You are worthy to yourself
Did you help yourself this morning?
Getting dressed, eat... 
So there
You are worthy
Don't let anybody else tell you differently
You have a mind of your own, body, spirit
And a unique personality
No one is like you
You can search high and low and will never find anyone like you
So why do you say you are not significant, unique
When you find another one like you, you let me know, okay?
But for now I will think of you as awesome, one of a kind
And you make my world go round
Enough of this?
I will not stop if you don't stop your thinking
Ha and you try to convince me
