DON’T SETTLE

Don’t settle, you know better
Don’t think he’s right for you
In my heart I  know it
I think you know it, too!

It’s more than education
Backgrounds and attitudes
You’re worlds apart, it’s obvious
He is no match for you.

It may not be apparent
But, his closet is quite full
Of skeletons and demons
That will often push and pull. 

Addictions never vanish
They linger and take hold
When you least expect it
They suddenly unfold.

Emotions often trigger
Cravings from the past
Promises are broken
It can happen really fast. 

Before you get entangled 
Learn to heed the warning signs 
You really need to walk away 
Protect yourself this time. 

You simply should know better
This guy’s not right for you
In my heart I  know it
And I think you know it, too!
