To this day I know not why I don't take my own advice. It's as if I thrive on the turmoil and rainy day parade I create. There is no cure for hopeless optimism in Love; Only the realization that some things are meant to be eternal In a different way. In a dreamland. So instead of being the one to be heartbroken, I have chosen to be the one who tears down another's world. I shatter the dreams I long for. I am the one that gets the final say. It's a different kind of high-to finally become the pedestal from which I knew I should have been on the entire time. I can't say the view from where I stand in my mind is clear, or better. I can't win in the game of Love. But in the game of War, I am cruel at heart. Cruel in a way that is honest, in fact, not cruel at all. I wonder some days if the passive voice inside my head is actually my sense of worth, escaping the quicksand that it's been under for far, far, too long.
