Do Not

(feelings)

Do not try to break my spirit.
Because yours is broken.
For I was not the one who broke it.

Do not try to break my heart.
Because yours is broken.
For I was not the one who broke it

Do not try to use me to feel  good about yourself.
For I was not the one who made you feel low and worthless.

Do not try to insult me to boost up your ego
For I was not the one that made you feel like dirt.

Do not try to label me. Because you been label
For I was not the one who label you.

Do not try to make me feel bad about anything
For I am not the one that started it all.

This poem is based on what I started going through after giving birth.
