Healthy Relationship

October 10, 2017

You push me into the school lockers

Telling me that shirt isn’t made for other people

Just your eyes only

You’d say because I love you or if you’d love me you would not do certain things and I would listen

You backlash into me about how guys talk or look at me

You tell me I’m no good and will never find anyone better

That if I try to leave you will hunt me down and beat me

You treat me as if I never have a say

Family and friends tell me how unhealthy this is

You cheat and tell me not to listen to rumors because rumors are just that

I continued in this relationship wondering why I stay

I stayed only for a simple fact I felt stuck

I was afraid, scared

What happens if I leave?

I considered this for months and months being abused by a guy who said he loved me

Until one day I think about a better time

Where you aren’t involved

Where you have no say in what I do or wear or say

I find someone who loves me

And actually means it

Someone who doesn’t tell me what to wear or do

Someone who treats me like I’m my own individual

Fast forward 6 years

I found someone who treats me the way I should be

He pushes me to become a better person

He supports me in my college classes

He has eyes only for me

He never lays a finger on me

He tells me I’m beautiful every single day

He actually takes me on dates and wants to be out with me

I’m no longer trapped in that unhealthy relationship

I wear what I want to again

I finally have self confidence

I look at myself every morning grinning because I know I can do anything I put my mind to

I’m me again and I’m stronger than ever

I will never fall back into that unhealthy relationship

My self worth is greater than any guy

The day I left you was the day I started loving myself
