Everyone’s always writing poetry about heartbreak: a lover, a friend

What about when you’re breaking your own heart?

I tear myself down 

Every. F**king. Day.

I look in the mirror and hate what I see

All these mean comments they’re coming from me

I surrender

I could blame society for its expectations

I could blame others for their rude comments

I could blame my mother for this mentality

But at the end of the day…

It’s me

I should be strong enough to fight

To love myself

But I’m too tired to combat this war inside my head

I surrender

I’m too tired to build this defense

I surrender

So please just let me be

I surrender!
