Life does not always work out as planned.
There are certain situations and
certain circumstances that
are simply out of our control
and we have to do our best to
accept the fact that
we are powerless.
This is something in my life that I have
always struggled to admit
let alone
try to understand.
There is a dwelling desire
to always want to know
and there is nothing in this world
that has burdened me more.
I have been through relationships
both casual and
significant
and most of them have
one thing in common;
they came to an end
at the extent of my
over-pushing hands.
And even though both sides
were to blame-
I oftentimes found the
scale of suffering
to be tipped
in my favor.
You see,
I am tired of countless nights
of questiong my self worth.
I am exhausted and
depleted of all my
"excess positivity"
there comes a point in every humans life
where you realize
no one is worth
making you feel
insignificant.
Still-
it is hard to say goodbye.
And it is even harder to
begin again
knowing you will have
to do some of it
alone
but
there will be a day
where your own company
is not so bad.
And I hope it comes for you
just as much as I hope it
comes for me;
where every morning
feels
like a victory.
