Choices

Why does this keep happening?

I’ve been left by myself once again.

Is there something wrong with me?

I have never been someone’s first choice.

Why am I never chosen?

I feel like I have never been enough.

Am I not enough?

Stop!

You were left behind again,

And you weren’t someone’s first choice.

But you are more than enough,

And you will always be enough.

Maybe you will never be someone’s first choice,

But you can start to honour yourself by choosing you.

Stop licking food from their knives,

Not when you can hunt for yourself.
