I broke myself in two
To please a lesser man
Listen, because it’s not like me to talk down on somebody
I see us all as equals
But this man was evil
He said
I want to make you feel good
But you can’t tell anyone the truth
This type of feel good has to be kept secret
He promised it wouldn’t hurt
And I broke in two to please this man
Not literally
Figuratively
He broke me
And left me there with her
Two of me
The real me that retreated into self pity
And the angry me that wanted the whole world to hurt as bad as I did
I was broken in two for a long time
Today, I am working on getting back what’s mine
My pride
