because, despite

because
of the urges that i've had
in the past, i've hurt myself

despite
the urges that i've had
i have grown to take care of myself

because
of the abuse that i endured
i have always hated myself

despite
the abuse that i endured
i will grow to love myself

despite
the love that God shows me
i have pushed Him away in the past

because
of the love that God shows me
i am growing despite my past

    [opens mouth to say "You. Are. Simply. Fabulously. Completely. Awesome!!!!"]

    [closes mouth, and instead gives LS a really big smile]
