Neglected

I was neglected, not by my parents.

But by myself.

I neglected myself when I didn't allow myself to love.

I neglected myself when I flew away from courage.

I neglected myself when I couldn't accept my mistakes.

When I spend all my money on things to " make me feel better" when really I was poisoning myself. with lies.

I neglected myself.

And now I see how easy it is to self-harm, without even creating scars.
