Unhealthy Emotionally


He said he loved me

but proceeded to call me fat,

proceeded to call me dumb

Yet he said he loved me

when he would block off my friends,

block off my family

But he promised he loved me

when I was crying,

and he was screaming

So I told myself

I love myself,

I love who I am

So I left him

and felt better,

felt stronger

Because I love myself
