False Beliefs

I wrote this poem when I was at the beach with my current girlfriend to celebrate our graduation from highschool. We got into a fight and she broke up with me after over 2 years together. It really crushed me at the time and I wrote this poem for her to show my dedication to bettering myself as well as our relationship. I didn't realize how toxic the relationship was at the time and after several months of emotional abuse following the initial break up I realized I was better off without her. I'm still very proud of this poem because it's a great example of using poetry to convey emotion.
