I never thought that bitterness would ever get the best of me,
And my dreams of happiness always felt like distant memories.
Always finding excuses, to cover up my misuses.
So regretfully, I successfully played the cards that had been dealt to me.
Always longing for longevity, always critiquing my capabilities.
Always ignoring my inner feelings, helped create more disabilities.
Always thinking about possibilities, never owning my insecurities.
Allowing bitterness to just take from me, everything I knew I could be?
Expectations of my relations, always faking and mistaken,
Never claiming, always blaming, things on everyone around me.
Now I’m learning, and I’m living, because I realized that I’m human,
And mistakes are only choices, when you listen to certain voices.
Then you’ll realize, you can’t compromise, getting older, makes you wiser.
And you’ll pass the test, when you try your best, always striving to go higher!
