Better off without you

Better off

By Juwann CookPublished 4 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read

Im better off alone

Doesn't mean that I want to be

I rather deal with the lonely nights

Than to be someone's side piece

Just because I value myself

Doesn't mean that others will

Sol leave them all below

As I climb up the highest hill

"Relationships go through rough times"

Is all that people say

Still trying to wrap my head around

Does that mean I should stay?

I don't believe in fairytales

I know that we are all imperfect

I just can't see a world where

I am allowing someone to hurt me.

Some say I will be alone forever

And I am willing to take that chance

Because if I start to receive disrespect

Then you’ll feel my wrath

heartbreak

About the Creator

Juwann Cook

I feel like poetry are the things that we want to say but society will look at us weird for the feelings that we have about something or someone, to make it easier for ourselves and others we just put it in writing.
