trying

in all my years, i can truly say

you are my biggest regret

i learned to turn the cheek

learned to forgive, but can't forget

 

*i have to accept you hurt me and got away with it

i've got no closure

but i have to finish closing these wounds*

 

i went through the dark, the storm

i'm something else now

i'm a different being

i’m not the same

i don't like it

i can see it on other's faces

i know they don't like it either

 

so i just detached

i'm an island now

purposely deserted

alone, and sometimes lonely

 

i pray this isn't the eye of the storm

i don't have any more rounds left in me
