It feels like it's going to be the same, Self
You're never going to get through to him, Self
Your world is different from his and that's okay, Self
I understand you want him all the time, Self
But we don't always get what we want, Self
Sometimes we have to dig deeper into our souls to figure out what we need in order to feed ourselves, Self
You're strong and lonely, but smart as hell, Self
Your words always dance to the beats of those who read the poems you write, Self
It takes them on a journey, somewhere far away, Self
They imagine different galaxies full of shooting stars and suns blowing up into colorful nebulas, Self
You're so ******* creative and I don't clap for all the poems you've written over the years, Self
But God, am I proud to call you my own, Self
There's so much you need, Self
And I can't just allow anyone to show up and put you on a leash, Self
You're not some dog, waiting to be steered, Self
You're a powerful woman, ready to dominate the world, Self
They need to reach your standards even if it means climbing to the 100th floor, Self
You are not easy and you can't expect to find The One just like that.
You are not easy and you can't allow yourself to just stumble through life, without some rocks to tremble you
How can you learn when all you do is cruise on these Streets without a crack along the way?
Self, I know life doesn't hand out lessons free of charge
I know that all you want to do is runaway into the depths of some forest and just lose yourself but you have to make sure you're always thankful for what you're handed
You have become more of yourself now, than you have the past few years
Self, I'm proud of how far you've come
I love you, wholeheartedly
Scars and all
Wants and needs
I love you for all that you are
