how can you go back to him, they say
After he has treated you like you’re worthless
time, after time
it’s always a constant battle with him
you feeling like you have to prove yourself
to someone who doesn’t appreciate your beauty, your intelligence
your worth.
but that’s just it, i tell them
I have to prove myself
to the one person that doesn’t see it
even when everyone else does
so the real question is, how can i not?
