another poem

By kikiPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

For those who never deserved my presence

I later learned to appreciate their absence

I discovered that being alone is the best way to start to love myself

I learnt that there was so many parts of me that people are being taken for granted

I realise now that the only love I need is myself

and the only assurance I need is from myself

because why am I going to be with someone who doesn’t make me happy ?

I’m on a journey towards finding myself and I can’t do that if I’m relying on someone else to help me
