I don't breathe your love

"I opt for self-worth"

I don't breathe your love

Yes, I do know.

I know that you love me.

But don't treat me like trash.

Remember that I have my own dignity.

I have my own heart to protect.

I am myself,

I live for myself.

I don't even breathe your love.

I don't eat nor drink your love.

Your love is just four letters.

It is only one word.

Please stop saying it to me.

Without it,

I'll still be alive and healthy.

I opt for self-worth and tranquility.

Even now,

You might take your love with you.

That will give me peace.
