Toxic Love

I accept your faults because I am less than perfection
I cater to your insecurities because I am full of doubt
I give to you unconditionally so you wont be without
I expose my wounds in hopes that you can heal me
I wait for you so that you are not left behind
I give you my last so that you can come first
I have no place to call home but I shelter you in my heart
I open my mind even though you don’t give me a second thought
I carry you in my soul despite the spiritual toll
I can’t let you go for fear of holding myself
This toxic love I don’t know anything else

At the moment I have been focusing on self-care. I am a mental health professional and it's imperative that I allow myself space to honor thoughts as well. I write and read a great deal about the power of positive affirmations, the connection between physical and mental health and women's empowerment/gender specific topics.
In regards to how writing affects my mental health, journaling is a powerful tool and safe medium for me to express and process my feelings. Whether it's bullet points, poems, manifestation lists or just freestyle - it helps me get in touch with me.
