Am I Ready To Revive My Friendships
Listen to poem:
Things are starting to feel normal and reminding me of what we had
But it's a feeling I'm trying to avoid and I know that sounds sad
Do I really want to revive what we had in the past
Just to give up my emotional dignified freedom that fast
I have cultivated a friendship with myself that has made me feel good
I've been raising my self esteem and self worth as high as I could
To be a good friend I had to first learn to love myself
I was expecting love to come from somebody else
There were many reasons that my relationships went wrong
My emotional dependant friendships never lasted that long
Now that I have gotten into myself would things be the same
Will things go more smoothly
Now that I'm emotionally tamed
I'm impressed by the person I've became but will you be
Being sensitive and a caring person would always be me
That needy and desperate person inside of me had to go
Over elevating a person so their love for me can grow
No more self inflicting pain because now I come first
Constantly casting myself aside for others and their self worth
I view my time with friends as an option now no longer as plans
Catering to my own needs instead of their wants and demands
My heart is no longer worn on my sleeve ready to be ripped
Question remains: Am I ready to revive my friendships?
