I Choose Me

I’ve loved so many

But I didn’t love me

Neither did they,

Though they did say,

They didn’t show me,

So they drifted away.

I choose me,

For so long I have chosen everyone else.

So many men,

Even a women,

Just so many,

I’d rather not say.

It’s time to be here for me.

It’s time to focus on loving me.

I choose me and that’s okay.

You may see me and want to change me,

But I am fully taken,

I am taken by me.
