This is how it goes

Not good enough

Underqualified

Too caring – emotion overload

Too clingy – let me breathe

Too skinny – are you sick?

Go fix yourself and come back

Repeat

Too good for me

Overqualified

Not caring enough – I feel ignored

Too cold and distant – you’re hurting me

Too fat – you’re going to get sick

Go fix yourself and come back

Qualified, not the right look

Caring, not the right way

Right size, wrong color

Go fix yourself and come back

Repeat

No, stop!

Just stop right there

Here, take the pen

Write your own way
