EX Poem and art by Jennifer Quinn (2019):

I never planned to be an Ex
A person you delight in being without
A former person whom society labels
Negative
Bitchy
Controlling

I never planned to be an EX
Where people support your decision
Ignore your truth

I never planned to be an EX
I constantly adored you
Listened to all your plans
Dreams

I never planned to be an Ex
A has been manner
Tossed aside
So you can find
Your inspiration
