Jazzy's Tale

I think I've stayed in most of my relationships too long I was chasing a love and a life that I grew up seeing with my parents So it was moreso about an idea in my head than the actual relationship that I had Also, I just didn't wanna be alone Growing up a brown skinned girl, a fat girl Essentially growing up feeling undesirable When I got older and I had a man that desired me It validated me, and made me feel good about myself Therefore, the content that the validation brought me Was worth the actual pain that the relationship eventually brought And it's a sad, scary, and vulnerable place When you need to feel love so much that you're willing to accept anything
