\u00a0<\/p>\n
I am seething, enraged, broken, and hurt.<\/p>\n
I long for respect, understanding, empathy, and companionship.<\/p>\n
Why do you neglect this cup of mine that you’ve drunk dry?<\/p>\n
Why do you yell and demand that I fill your cup to the brim?<\/p>\n
I have poured myself out over and over again.<\/p>\n
You have drunk of me gustily, greedily.<\/p>\n
You care not if there’s anything left for me.<\/p>\n
I am taking care of me now.<\/p>\n
No longer will I spend me dry.<\/p>\n
I will keep a reserve for me.<\/p>\n
Now I quench my thirst first before I pour out unto you.<\/p>\n
It makes you mad?<\/p>\n
You don’t appreciate me any more, now that I am holding back?<\/p>\n
It is well.<\/p>\n
I wish you well.<\/p>\n
I will not let you drink from my well.<\/p>\n
I now have boundaries.<\/p>\n
I care for me.<\/p>\n
It was long overdue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
