I don't want to have to be strong
I didn't need the turmoil,
the trauma, the grief, the loss, the abuse, the tragic
situations that life threw at me
All the things that labeled me strong for
SURVIVING......
I never should have endured any of it
Does being strong mean constantly
questioning my worth
Whether or not I deserve love
And hating myself on the daily
Those thoughts in my head
keep me up at night
And I've gotten so used to them
It's comforting
