I know regret will get me nowhere, but maybe this is something different.
I can't believe I so wholeheartedly gave away pieces of myself to others in the hopes that someday, I'd become whole.
For a while, I imagined myself as a vessel
A vessel containing unconditional love, and that it was my job to fill everyone's cup
This kept me alive
But this vessel is cracking
And she's scared that nobody will love her when they see her smile cracking
When they see her cracking
A vessel can only hold so much, can only be dropped so many times, placed in the garage, forgotten and then remembered again, before she begins to question her worth.
From now on, I am the vessel, and I am the cup.
