flowers in my heart | poetry

nothing

i owe you
nothing

you have given
none of your time
none of your attention
none of yourself

i owe you
no part of me
none of my time
none of my attention
none of myself

you were
never there
when i needed you
you never cared
about me
when you said
you did

i am tired
of being used
i owe you
nothing

I decided not to give away the meanings of these poems, so the reader can interpret them for themselves, but this one I felt like I needed to explain, because the mood changed so quickly. (As one's mood does.) I was very distraught the day I wrote this, people had been asking of a lot of me, and I felt like I was wearing thin.

Just a note to you, dear reader, remember your worth. Don't let anyone use you, and never waste your time on someone who does. You are worth so much more than the petty things they give you.

The feeling I had as I wrote this, was much worse than how the words look and sound. I was ready to end everything. but the feeling I received after writing this, was full of confidence and power. Dear reader, please remember your worth.
