Don’t tell me you’re over him

when you look in the mirror & still see

everything

he said was wrong with you,

every flaw & every scar–

I promise you, he never

looked close enough–

instead of all the reasons why

I love you,

all your beauty & all your strength–

those scars are proof.

Don’t tell me he’s in the past

when you refuse to believe

you are good enough,

you are

enough.
