Selfish by action, selfish opinions using me in vain. Crazy to think I wasn't all that sane, a loving silent person gripping my veins. Happiness in a dream, tears of rejoice. Shhh I never liked the sound of my actions, was never meant to annoy. Told myself I'm loyal, forced to reset my respects. Pretend to laugh with gritted teeth, I'm happy to fight off the aches to gain a gratitude. I've seen the best of the worse to myself and me. Happier that it only mattered to no one else but me. The successful chapters gave me the strength to appreciate gratitude. Rude or not, can't count words my actions never said. Happy to gain a healthy circle I can proudly respect with no regrets. Happy to be closer with my family. Appreciate having my friends. You're all the only thing I love about me. You're the fire I need when my nuanced opinions get cold. I'm becoming proud of you & me<3

I'm getting closer to me.
