#selfhappiness
You cannot keep people from coming and going No matter how hard you try people will come and go as they please in your life, even if it hurts It is important for them to be happy, as well as it is for you to be But it is not their responsibility to keep you happy That is yours The longer you fight and scream to keep them there The more it will hurt in the end So maybe it is just best to let people leave as they please Even if it means to sit there alone in the middle of the night with a cup of alcohol in your hand Sitting in the dark crying as you try to figure out what you did so wrong that made them leave But it wasn't you that did anything wrong You were just you, and you are perfect as long as you are happy They did not do anything wrong either They did what they needed to do for them to be happy Neither of you are responsible for one another You do what you can to keep YOU happy When you put others first, you teach yourself that you come last Put yourself first always Treat others how you want to be treated Be kind to others always Even though it is in the name, common sense isn't as common as you would hope for You have to respect others opinions Even if it goes against what you say and like You are alone But you aren't lonely in any way You have people here with you Even when it doesn't feel like it So let those people leave Let more enter Don't be afraid to leave others as well Take care of yourself Put yourself first You are the main character of YOUR story, not THEIRS The most you can do is tell the person why you are leaving if there is a reason Give them that closure if you can I will no longer be holding people back with my insecurities

Step by step, uphill Then down, striving To the top, this is The final countdown. Seeing the end, exhausted And holding back a Mental breakdown. Blood, sweat and tears The lack of oxygen, Leaving me stumbling So high in the atmosphere. As I climb I break through my greatest fears, This is a war with myself, A crucible greater than No other. Climbing higher My eyes begin to open, Everything is clear. The end is near. This place is holy, Something I can’t bare, As if I observe my Every move with my Subconscious. I’ll leave here free Of toxins, spiritually found, Sinless and Flawless.
