Do I really deserve this happiness?

It's been so long since I've really, totally been happy with my life, with myself,

I had so many doors closed, I put myself in the back, forgot about me,

I put my wants and needs on hold, took care of everyone else before me,

then when it was time for me, I didn't have anything left or so I thought,

but that is all changing now,

I've been learning about myself,

learning to like and love myself,

which in fact is making my life seem brighter,

learning to stand up for me,

To answer that question " Do I deserve this happiness?"

Yes, I do and I will not stop making the one in the mirror happy,

taking care of her first...
