Abstract

"The short poem, 'Leaving you,' was inspired by a long-term, high school sweetheart break up. For most of the relationship, I complied to the wants and needs of my partner. However, I was growing farther and farther from who I really was and what I truly desire in life. Not only was my love taken advantage for, but I also completely lost myself trying to love a man who cannot even love himself. 'Leaving you' is not about losing my ex, but rather gaining back all the love I gave up when I left the relationship."
