I want everything money can't buy

I want to be a part of something larger than myself
I want to be made to believe I am beautiful
(not just told)
I want to feel that I am worth loving
I want to be the crying shoulder
the sympathetic ear
the helping hand
I want to lay my hands upon others
upon the world and make it heal
I want to be the light in the darkness
I want to be loved
I want to be needed
held close and cherished
I want to be worth someone's time
I want to sleep without nightmares
I want to hope again
to wish again
without wondering why I bother
I want everyday to be the best day of my life
I want to be worth it
to be loved.
