I used to write stupid love poems when I was 14
I used to think how deeply hurt I am.
And now that I am wiser
I want to give advice
to younger baby self.
You’re only you for one life.
You waste it on self-hatred and contempt
and negative emotions
on doubtfulness,
self hurt, starvation
and restriction.
So now you try to fix yourself?
They are not worth it.
Or is it you?
