Those whose hearts are so big that they keep on giving and caring for others before themselves it takes a serious paradigm shift due to reframing one’s mindset to actually become SELF orientated rather than OTHER orientated. I say it’s time that you only allow people into your life who are going to be assets versus being liabilities. If someone is not adding to your life and is coming to “take” from you then that’s the clue to fold ’em! I dedicate this poem to YOU!
Undeserving Love
Love is a verb
So to watch how you closed yourself off to me
Only to reach for me when you wanted what you wanted
Seared me to the inner recesses of my soul
Despite this I loved you so
I would have taken a bullet for you
Walked on water if I could
Undeserving Love
Your mixed signals
Caused so much confusion
Your push and pull
Left me doubting the beautiful woman that I am
Inside and out
You had me feeling so insecure
Forgetting the greatness of who I am
Undeserving love
To hear the stories of all those before me
How they captured your attention
That years later you vividly recited every detail
Right down to their beauty
Never to tell me that to you
I am beautiful
Cut deep into my spirit
Undeserving love
I had to leave
Because I knew that was the only way
To heal from this pain
You never batted an eye
Let me walk out the door
Not even to call out to me to come back
Confirmation to me of
Undeserving love
A new day came in my life
When I decided to choose me instead of you
God blessed me with amazing
People and opportunities
He showed me that I am
More than I allowed myself to be treated
By your Undeserving Love
I am worthy of self-love – Deserving of love
