RECIPROCITY

Not sure I know what it means
but I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean
that you get what you want and need
and the other person gets what they
want to give IF they want to give
it on any given day. Daughter,
you deserve better than crumbs
from emotionally unavailable
people who use you. I really
just wanted you to know: YOU
deserve better. You ARE
better. You are.
