compromise

↓ Today, I tell my partner that he scares me

Not because of anything he did

Because of all the men who came before him

They are right to be fearful

Because of the women who raised us in fear

I tell myself he's different

It feels like I've been gas-lit by my thoughts

I trust myself, but

I am often wrong about the wrong things

I know he would never hurt me

I still love my father

In spite of everything ↑
