“Just imagine if I had given up”
―
―
“you're beautiful
something you refuse to believe
you're good enough
something they fail to tell you
you deserve better
sounds cliché, but it's true
i've observed so many strong, real, intelligent,
and loyal women
put up with behaviors that are beneath them
your smile becomes a mask, your laughter
neglected...
your happiness on life support, nearly dying
because you've settled
for less than you deserve”
