I am too
busy
watering
my own grass
to
notice
if yours is
greener.
What do I care?
if the snow is higher than
the stop signs, but
still visible for pedestrian to see
no loading or standing zone

What do I care?
that dark lonely night is approaching
and my poor heart melt every time I think of you
what do I care

I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

my heart
belongs to someone
who is not even sure
of how they feel
within their own

& I realized, it doesn't matter
if I don't think she's pretty,
or interesting, or smart.
because you still chose her
over everything I had to offer.
Enough.
One day that's what I'll be.
Enough.
Enough for you,
Enough for my friends,
Enough for someone.

One day
Me being me
Will be
Enough.

Someone will walk through that door,
Look at me,
And love me.
I will be
Enough.
And they will be
Enough
For me.

I won't have to fight
To be recognized.
They will be everything
I have every dreamed,
And I will be everything
They have ever dreamed.

I will be
Enough.
It seems like its just heart break after heart break.
I'm a ghost
In your bed.
An empty memory
Residing in the sheets.
I'm the Nothing that
Resembles everything.
I'm better off dead
Than living inside
Your head.
I'm working on a series to get over an ex. This is the first of several. #overhim
