Poetry & Self-Awareness

I’m not stressing you, her or him
I’m not messing with you, her or him
I’m not doing it for you, her or him
I’m not fooling you, her or him

If it’s between you and me, I’m choosing me
Too much of me I gave and barely got anything in return
I’m going in full friction until it burns
What remains, I’ll use it on myself
You want my love? You’ll have to wait your turn
“She is focused on herself”, now she’s selfish
It’s called self-love, I’m loving myself first
I’ll love y’all later when it’s y’all turn
I’m turning cold. Never
I’m just tired of sharing all my energy on souls that don’t deserve it
I had a lot more to share, but I ate it
I thought I would love myself better by loving others
But I’ll learn to love y’all when I love myself

It’s a balance but y’all never wanted to manage
I’m not stressing you, her, or him
I’m not messing with you, her or him
I’m not doing it for you, her or him
I’m not fooling you, her or him
