Jazzy's Tale
Jazmine Sullivan
I think I've stayed in most of my relationships too long
I was chasing a love and a life that I grew up seeing with my parents
So it was more so about an idea in my head
Than the actual relationship that I had
Also, I just didn't wanna be alone
Growing up a brown skin girl, a fat girl
Essentially growing up feeling undesirable
When I got older and I had a man that desired me, it validated me
It made me feel good about myself
Therefore, the content that the validation
Brought me was worth the actual pain
That the relationship eventually brought me
It's a sad, scary, and vulnerable place
When you need to feel love so much
That you're willing to accept anything
