Mom always said
You reap what you sow
Maybe god mixed up my garden

How can I fight when there’s no longer something to refute
What I thought could be
Had crashed down from the skies
Leaving me on the ground
Laying next to shards
Fragile remnants of a previous magic
Hope
Of all the things I imagined myself doing
This was not one
For I lacked the creativity to believe I would fail
And overflowed on the confidence that I deserved better
What a fool I was
To believe that life would favour me

No matter how much I try to push past you
I can’t
Physically, I’m unable to walk away
Incapable of accepting the new me
Something is holding me back
Yet I refuse to believe I’d stay
Not for something this dark
Maybe there’s no glimmer of light
After all

Now that I think about it,
You weren't that great
You were there for me
But presence doesn't mean much
You comforted me
But hollow promises hold no value
None of this was as bad
As when you distanced yourself
You stopped putting in the effort
So I tried twice as hard
You walked away, not looking back
As I drowned and gasped for air
The crazy part is
The air in my lungs changed me
My vision got blurry
But everything was more clear
A realization appeared
You were no longer there-
I could finally come up and breathe in
The air.

You sauntered into my life as if it was yours; a birthright
You've turned my life upside down; yet this is not a love story
Laced with poison, is the wine we drink together
Gone, are the vows you made to me
Dark, is the bright future I once had
The light flickers, I hear a noise
You're home
You smile today
You take me up the stairs
A surprise for me, you say
I come to my senses
It's my time to surprise
This might hurt
My condolences.

Joy is rarely brought into your life by the success of others
One, whose success brings joy into your life and whose failure brings you grief
Is one you should hold
One that makes you fortunate
For you have attained selfless joy
A rare marvel of mankind that none have understood
Yet all wish to obtain

Doubt is such a beautiful terror
It's black waves begin like a starless nightfall
It will set up shop inside your mind
It will infiltrate your every thought
And enter the business of trading souls
You will not recognize it until it's too late
By then you will have traded in more than you can cash
Cheque. Bounced.

The cars sped past me
thumbs up, I didn't lose hope
hours later, the sound of traffic filled my ears
yet I stood there with a bright smile
greeted with insults and scared faces
I began to walk
the path was not in my favour
when finally, I reached my destination
content with myself, I expected to be received with open arms
arms-they were, open-they were not
putting on my armour
I began to walk

You're great but...
Do you have a guy in your life?
That little voice in your mind is saying
Give in
Give in to the perpetual mindset of equating success to a prospective man in my life
But why?
Have you ever thought that the men in our lives are not the problem?
Stopped to think that maybe it's our fault that women constantly feel the pressure to enter relationships?
Solve my oh-so-sad single status?
No thank you, I think I'm good.
