Codependency. Don't Betray Yourself

 

I do my thing.
You do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations.
You are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are You.
I am I.

If by chance we find each other,
it’s beautiful.
If not, it can’t be helped.

I lack love for myself
when, in any attempt to please you, I betray myself.

I lack love for you
when I try to make you be the way I want
instead of accepting you the way you really are.

You are You and I am I.
