not because you asked…I stay.
not because of guilt…I stay.
not because of shame…I stay
not because I owe you…I stay.
not because I think you need me…I stay.
not because I think you know how to appreciate my presence in your life…I stay.
not because you make me feel good about who I am…I stay.
not because I was taught from a young age to be loyal…I stay.
not because I don’t want to go…I stay.
