I decided to leave this poem without music. It's something I wrote to somebody because I am bad with being confrontational, so I felt compelled to write a poem about it with the hope that they would listen and realize it's about them. I thought that leaving out music would keep this poem more straightforward and not be masked under something pretty. It's about the importance of taking time to love yourself and to realize that you don't need a love interest to be complete.
