Don'T Let Him Bring You Down Poem by Caitlin McGonigal

Don’t let him bring you down,
the words he speaks are useless.
Let him suffer emotionally
as you pride yourself in what you have accomplished.
Don’t let him bring you down
and drown in his …own pool of self pity.
Stand up and remind yourself
that you are a strong woman
that don’t need his negative tongue lashing out at a beautiful day.
Don’t let him bring you down,
you deserve what he never gave
and could never give.
Look at yourself in the mirror
and accept the realization
that you don’t need a man,
not just an ordinary man
with mounds of drama
taller then himself.
Believe in yourself,
and stay true to what you deserve as an independent woman.
Look him the eye, laugh at his words,
don’t shed a tear, for he is not worth it.
Make him swallow his tongue
regret his poor decisions in his own life of remorse.
You stand their as beautiful as you are
and say, “I don’t need you”.
and smile your smile,
and walk you walk with more confidence
than you have ever had before.
