Love Yourself Or Nobody Will

He is not your hero. He is not your savior. He cannot fix you. He cannot make you. But he can bend you, And even break you. He can destroy you, And try to shame you. But will you let him? Or will you reject His controlling ways? Will you stand up to Him? Or will you run And hide until he Finds and captures you Yet again. Grasping Tightly onto you. He won't let you go. He loves to have all Control. He has you. Get away. Do it While you still can, save yourself. Do not drown In his musty love.

Hi Shae,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Run. No contact. Learn to love yourself. All good advice. Sociopaths feed on and destroy loving caring people. They are the antithesis of love. Liked your poem.
