Not good enough

She loved him

But it was not reciprocated,
She felt low

And so self depreciated,

Never felt that she was good enough for anyone,

He treated her so bad,

All herself confidence was gone,

That’s what happens when you play these games

That’s what happens when you use someone that way,

He did it so he had control over her

Mental abuse really just isn’t fair.

She loved him

But it was not reciprocated,
She felt low

And so self depreciated,

Never felt that she was good enough for anyone

And she felt so worthless like her life was gone.

So she cried alone at night,

Tears on her pillow was such a sad sight

And she cut herself and watched herself bleed,

Because it helped her still feel real

And that pain was all she felt,

Because of the cruel way that he treated her

And it sapped her self belief

And she was so addicted to this love

Through his control,

She could not imagine any release.

She loved him

But it was not reciprocated,
She felt low

And so self depreciated,

Never felt that she was good enough for anyone,

Maybe that’s why in the end they found hung

By the neck,

To desperate to break out

And yet so desperately wanting to be free,

She could find no way out of this

And she felt as if she did not exist

In the end,

So what would it matter if she was dead.

She loved him

But it was not reciprocated,
She felt low

And so self depreciated,

Never felt that she was good enough for anyone at all,

So she ended her life because she felt that she was so small.

  1. Though I would really not support dying for someone who doesn’t reciprocate your love. Because by dying, in a way you aren’t reciprocating the love of your parents which is a way more cruel.
    But the poem was real and very good. ☺️

    1. Thank you. I agree but life can be different from the way we believe it should be and difficult to understand.
