I was not needed,

So why did I stay?

I truly believed that it would change.

I was not liked,

So why did I stay?

I truly believed that it would change.

I was not wanted,

So why did I stay?

I truly believed that it would change.

I was never enough,

So why did I stay?

I truly believed that it would change.

About the Creator

Steffany Pope

Dealing with mental health problems has been hard. I've lived my whole life believing that no one understood me. I realized, my mind is not for others to understand; but for my edification of self awareness. So, I write to understand me.
