Wouldn’t i treat me better?

Yes, I have issues, problems, baggage
Still, I’m nearly certain, I would treat me better…
I could be wrong…
there have been those
I’ve had to hold behind a wall of self-protection
but I don’t repeatedly avoid communication, honesty, connection…
I deserve to feel the respect & kindness given, reciprocated…
I would treat me better ESPECIALLY as a friend!
I deserve to be seen, acknowledged, appreciated
Yes, I do believe, I would treat me better…so
…I deserve better.
