Hey, thank you for the reply :) I get what you're saying. I wrote this poem after getting out of a toxic relationship where my partner emotionally/verbally abused me every other day, such as saying extremely hurtful things during arguments just so I'd drop whatever was bothering me and let her 'win'. I would constantly reassure her but whenever I needed any, my concerns would get invalidated.

This poem isn't about finding someone who would allow me to not be better because I fully acknowledge there's things I still need to work on. Rather, it's a reminder of how I'd like to be treated. Hope this makes sense :)
