Why did I wait until it was too late?
I waited and waited
before I allowed your words to pierce me.
I have control over my own mind,
I've always had control
Yet, each time I left it,
tacitly approving it to run away with each negative thought.
And now that you've left me, I've allowed your words to pierce through me.
Like a sharpened shard of despair and remorse.
I want you to know, at least,
your words pierced my soul!

I kept wondering why it's so hard for me to love myself.
Honestly, I'm beyond amazing. Everyone feels that way about me. Now I know, I've spent too much time showing them and too little time showing myself.

I've fallen down so many times that my knees are grazed. I'm on sitting on the ground right now, I've fallen again. I'm staring at my palms, like I'm looking for a sign. My palms are grazed too...That's right, my palms too are grazed because I've pushed myself up each time I've fallen

Stop fooling yourself by living life as though you're unable to change your mind. Change it, change it again...change it again and again until it feels like you have no need to change it thereafter.

I knew I was right for you in every way, but I was blind to everything that was wrong about me

How do you move on after they've touched your soul and set it ablaze
