Conquering Anxiety
Congradu-*******-lations
You broke my heart again
I saw you once
My heart skipped twice
And I had to rethink three times
I saw you and smiled
Forgot for a moment
A split second in time
How cruel and unkind you are
Your hair was shaggy
Your shirt was baggy
And I almost looked in your eyes
But then I remembered
How pathetic you are
You're so strong
You're so powerful
But that's physically
Mentally...
Not so much
You're like a small child
Who wines and cries
And throws tantrums every day
I wonder why I stayed with you
For four ******* years
Because lets be real
You didn't deserve me
Not to sound vain
But I've got to make this plain
I gave you my heart
And you broke it apart
I take back what I said earlier though
Because you can't break something
You don't have
And you
My friend
Don't have my heart
I gave it away
And my love is here to stay
So you can't hurt me no more
But I'll admit
I hate what we did
But I'd never take it back
I learned from you
I was taught some very important lessons
Lessons that will stick with me
For the rest of my life
They hurt me
And sometimes feel like they ******* me
But in reality
They built me
I'm a good person
Even when I don't feel like it
I love people
I treat them with respect
I treat them
The way I expect them to treat me
So I made a vow
They day my eyes were open
To never
EVER
Be like you
And though sometimes
My words don't ring true
I am doing so much better
Without you
So because of you
I know what to do
I know how to read the signs
I know how to act
And where to draw the line
I know when to say okay
And when to say no way
So when I saw you today
For a moment
A split second in time
I saw you as the guy
That I use to call mine
But then I blinked
And had to rethink
And remembered the monster you hide
Though I remember
Things I wish I could forget
I know deep inside
That I'll be alright
Because I'm not afraid of monsters anymore
I've grown up
And seen the light in people
That you made me believe wasn't there
I'd think I was okay
Then I'd see you
And my body would just shut down
Now I see you
And a smirk plays on my lips
As it's you who looks to the ground
So I'm all right
You can't burn out my light
Because lets be real
You can't take
And break
My heart anymore
Because you have no control
