‘I Was Never Enough for the Wrong Man’

I cooked when I was asked. I cleaned dirty britches and dirty dishes, and everything in between.

I was supportive. I was patient. I was nurturing.

I was understanding. I was goal-oriented. I was encouraging.

I was loving. I tried to look as pretty as I possibly could. I was forgiving.

this …

I was an ear. I was a shoulder. I was a confidant.

I was a believer. I was a fighter. I was adventurous.

I was thoughtful. I was loyal.

I would sacrifice myself and my mind…for love. Because I was human.

I was a friend. I was a lover. I was a woman.
