Toxic

It's self sabotage to tell yourself you're fine

And go through the day holding back tears.

(Maybe that's life, but it's painful)

It's wrong to tell others they should love themselves

When you barely even like yourself.

(Maybe it's part of the process of self love)

It's not okay to stare at yourself in the mirror,

Chanting the same thing over and over again.

(Maybe it's worth it in the end, lying to yourself)

It's toxic to tell yourself you love someone

When you're just scared of letting them go.

(Maybe that is love, but it's always one sided)

But that's all it is

Toxic.

And it seems I'm

Addicted

To it.
