Know Your Worth
Dear Younger Self,
What were you thinking when you gave him your number?
I don't know I didn't think I could get any dumber!
Not once did he look in your beautiful eyes!
He was more interested in your breast and inner thighs
He told you lies you've heard before
But you ignored the lies and allowed him through your door
You gave him your heart, soul and virginity
In return he gave the relationship absolutely no energy
He lied, cheated and humiliated you
But your self-esteem was so low you thought that's what guys do
Stop accepting mediocracy
Look in the mirror and embrace the Queen you were meant to be
He will not change, this is true
But it's time to create a brand new you
Stop the cycle girl this has to end
No more depending and placing your worth in men
Respectfully,
Abbey Cole
