Spine
Spine
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a doormat-
I remember allowing people to treat me like this or that.
Inadvertently, I taught people that I was weak.
I had no mind of my own, no voice to speak.
It was beat into me from a young age that allowing abuse-
Was the only reason people would stay, I was only to be used.
Go with the flow, don’t rock the boat! I was supporting cast to
My own movie. Not even good enough to be the lead in my own story too.
It wasn’t until I found my own voice, strength to speak my mind-
I found that those “friends” weren’t interested in the version of me with a spine.
