Placeholder
Placeholder

Did you ever feel like a placeholder
In someone else's story?
That you were expedient
And not worthy of true effort?
It can be disheartening
When you are used in love
It can cause trauma
But you can still be whole
Put yourself first
In a kind and decent way
Know your limitations
And create boundaries that stay
Life is for the living
Your best authentic path
Not being a placeholder
For someone else's heart
