Giving Myself Permission To Love Me Poem by Verter McDougald

One day I'm finally going to give myself permission to love me. When that day comes it's going to be a life changing event for all of us in this twisted web of deciet. I'm tired of you being the love of my life, and drugs, and alcohol is all you love. I'm going to have to give myself permission to to let you go. You have poisoned this family long enough.I'm not sure when, but one day I'm going to love me more than I love you.
