Me

What sacrifices have you made in life?

I don’t have to sacrifice myself

to love someone else.

Especially when they wouldn’t do the same for…

Me.

So now I look out for…

Me.

With the hopes that it’s what’s best for them,

Because I caught the vibe that they took me for someone else.

That person they betrayed

twisted lies with memorized verses

A victim of their own circumstances,

The sum of all the bullshit they put together,

I realize more than ever

To do what’s best for…

Me.

With hopes that they

Would never be left in the rain,

like…

Me.

List your top 5 favorite fruits.

pining for you since we first met

ignited a flame in me I can’t forget

noticing the pull, your sudden appearance

Affectatious attraction and passion unparalleled

distant when entered your orbit

anticipating the moment when i see you again

pleading with a healing heart

pulling on that string

leading me slowly into your

embrace.

safe

feeling a sense of anxiety and discomfort

In new spaces in new places

Makes my chest burn

With embarrassment and shame

At the thought of feeling so lame.

Further angered at the red hot tears

That resembles the fear searing through me.

So I pull back,

Sit down

Let it all wash over me.

Stand up

So I push forward.
