Not In Me

All the bickering Kept you ticking For me there was no bliss I have no problem waving bye Without blowing a kiss Thought I'd be more upset Deep inside I feel relief Too often I felt resentment Now rid of negativity There's contentment Never my goal to hurt you If that's what you feel I solute you For not knowing me well enough After all this time That it's not in me To backhand your pride One person can only take so much Being stood up Flaked on Being pushed to the dust Being the alternate way to spend time Come up with something better Drop me like a dime I was only worth ten cents to you Cut my losses and move on

Some lessons are harder to learn than others.... But all valuable lessons are accompanied by some degree of pain. You seem to have the situation well in hand.... I really enjoyed this post.... Jake

It's never good to feel like a silver medal. This was full of real talk. Nicely done.

Sounds like you have a rough time with relationships full of self-centered men. Keep writing, it's a great way to vent in an amazingly positive way! Another good piece to read on the night. Ill be sure to keep checking back :) -Yours Truly
