Never mind,
I'm not going anywhere
without you here with me.
Waiting for this long
is worth it.
How can I get to the
place of destiny when
you are still not in the
right place.
Life will always play out
for you the configuration
of the handouts and settings
you put into your life account
in such a way that you are
now the in thing.
Serenity and peace of mind
awaits you.
Rejoice now that you have
a chance to redeem yourself
and be whatever you want.
Make sure you don't have to
wait for too long for everything
to settle down.
Don't wait until the next time,
there may never be any next time.
Take this moment and run with it.
This moment is all you got.
Your faith is all you have.
Certainly everything will come
to you at their appropriate time.
Do everything you can to
make it a grandeur,
it will be your grandest turning point.

You left me broken.

Because of you I judged myself a little harder.

Reasons you loved me were now the things I wanted to change.

Out of all things, you used my vulnerabilities against me.

Kindness was used as a weakness, but you were too. My love was taken for granted.

Even though I still loved you for a while afterwards i finally realized my worth.

Not only was i broken, but i was growing. And the new me was glowing. And the part of my life without you i just couldn't wait to show it. My confidence was my new strength and I had you to thank.

All because you left me.

I want to smile
At people
In a way
That they have never been smiled at
Before

In a way
That makes them feel as if
They're the only ones
I see among the sea of faces
Around them

In a way
That makes them feel as if
I'm the first one to truly
Stop and express
Raw and genuine attention
To another

In a way
That makes them feel as if
I truly notice them amongst this world
That is torn at moving
At high speeds
Instead of getting lost with
What's right in front of it
Because it's all a blur as they speed by it

In a way
That makes them feel
Important
Worthy
Loved
Noticed
Because sometimes
People don't feel that way
And if I can break out a smile
That expresses all of those emotions
To that one person
In a matter of a few short seconds
Then I'd constantly look for those
That look like anything but

I ran out of breath,
Trying to chase
Happiness.
