23/F Becoming the woman I want to be everyday and a bit nostalgic on the trauma I've been through
I have this group of girlfriends...best friends...sisters We love with our hearts and souls We deal with the unbearable all while holding each other Near or far I know we have this bond Each of us are somewhere in our life For two I believe they are living in a defining chapters For the other we are just living and slowly climbing the ladder Wondering where to go next We're still falling out the plane looking for a soft place to land One fell hard One fell just right One is still trying to find the ground and I have my eye on the ground but just don't really know how to get there I wonder where these chapters will take us hoping that this sisterhood ends up on solid ground

Where do I belong
As I look around my apartment I see small moments of all the wonderful women in my life I see the kitchen table given to me by my cousin who so generously gave to me with the candles and flowers that I bought to make my own The bedroom furniture so graciously sold to me by someone whom I admired so very much The couch I'm sitting on given to me by the professor who told me not to quit after a terrible heartache And this very apartment crafted to make this my safe space before I even lived here by my best friend And remembering the night I moved in with the help of my mother, aunt, and niece who saved the day with their willpower and kindness All together the women in my life have helped to create my amazing living space and helped to make it my own and without them I don't know where I'd be God safe the women

Women
There you go again reaching for the drugs to alter this form of reality we both live in you talk to me so sweetly but when they wear off its an awkward exchange almost like we're two strangers You're not the first person to do this in my life I'm used to it I've come accustom to everyone close to me needing to alter the reality for one thing or another and I'm always caught in the crossfire And why does it still hurt all these years later why do I still fall for the person that is high why haven't i left them all behind but maybe I like the high a little more than you maybe its the you I get high off of

Relapse
This is not a hard goodbye but a goodbye to what we thought would happen we thought our love would last and that our magic would stand the test of time it pains me with every fiber of my body that I will not be your person/lover/wife/mother to your child I am to be your friend because neither one of us wants to grieve it completely The outline of our future was set and beautiful Successful, happy, and in love but here we sit in different home facing life's mountain that our love couldn't overcome So my hope for us is that we grieve what we need to and hold on to what we can savage from the rubble to be just friends and maybe every now and then we can still see that magic within

Grieving the Life We Were Suppose to Have
I imagine the wedding day will look beautiful You will probably be the most stunning bride and your parents will beam with pride your dad will made jokes as he walks you down the aisle and mom will surely cry Your sister and brother will stand by your side I know your aunt and uncles will be so proud and as your dad gives you away and you look at the one that is right for you I hope you remember me remember me not in a bad way but as someone who helped pave the way to your beautiful bride I know I will remember you when I look at mine I'll remember the way you loved me like no one before and the way your family made me feel I'll think of them from time to time but you I shall think about you more than I wish because I know that we shared something so special but it just wasn't meant to last we will not see each other on our special day but I hope you think of me and remember the way we pushed off of each other to find our one that will give us our special day

The Future with you
Who is this girl I see Staring right back at me I don't know her but I feel her I feel that she is lost, a bit She's sacred, a bit but she is brave and will weather any storm or mood that comes I'm curious on what she really wants but I think she doesn't know She doesn't know what she wants She just wants fun, laugher, and success That's all But life is so **** messy that it gives her so many more thoughts maybe one day she'll know which path to take and when she ends up in the right place she'll know exactly that is it the right place for her

Who is She
My darling ladies You have been so beautiful and so loved since the moment we knew about you and I know sometimes it doesn't feel like that from some of the people who are SUPPOSED to love you but they do And regardless if they do or don't I love you each and everyday I wish I could see you grow into the wise little women that you are becoming everyday but I am becoming my own wise women daily Together we will make our own family We will make it kind, caring, and healthy For us and our futures I believe that you both will become such amazing women and that you will lead life in your own ways but I know deep down you will make it beautiful and wonderful for your souls I've fought for you since I was young because I knew that someone needed to pave the way But you fierce little women are paving your own way to success I know you both will deal with the same struggles that I dealt with but I know with your happy spirits and me by your side nothing will stand in your way

My fierce little ladies
I can not explain this feeling I thought I had felt this before but When you are finally with the right person your heart knows It knows it can love with all it has and not be afraid to do just that When you are with the right person your body knows it just can not tell a lie You tell that person everything and anything because you know they'll understand and in the moment you look each other in the eyes to say I love you You know she truly feels it back

The True Love
To grow you must endure the uncomfortable which is almost always playing with pain but in return you come out on the other end That's what they say The moment you feel that first wave of pain you want to mask it Which is why there are so many alcoholics and drug addicts They have a pain that needs to be masked but on days like today I have learned that sometimes masking the pain will not take it away but only hide it until the mask falls off and you are sober again and then its real and bigger than before Anything worth working towards is going to be painful It requires you to stand still and feel what is happening around you Feeling the pain is never easy but it is a must for growth And once you grow that pain will slow slip away and you will finally be able to breathe again If there's no pain there will never be a gain

Pain within ourselves
I am mad that you still pop into my head I am mad that I let you treat me so bad I am mad that when someone is treating me that I am the best thing they have ever had It only reminds of the terrible love we once had
