I deserve to be loved.
I deserve to be happy.
I deserve to be appreciated and treated with respect.
I am tired of fighting my depression over you.
I am tired of settling for what I don't deserve.
I am done with reading on broken glass.
I give up on tolerating less than my worth.
Now I'm dropping anyone who disturbs my peace.
And I'm blocking anyone who makes me feel unwanted.
I'm slashing my way out of toxic relationships,
and asserting my dignity and pride.
For I am saving all my love for somebody who proves
that they're loyal and down to ride.
