One In the Same

I'm not the same, but neither are you. I have never been the person you thought I was as I live behind these lies that I have created for myself. I didn’t intended to go this far, but when push came to shove I sat there in the dirt giving up on tiring to fix myself to be the person you wanted me to be. I am not this shell of a girl you once knew and came to love. I am more than what you define me has. You no longer hurt me with your double standards. And don’t think I didn’t catch them grasping at them, as you hinted at them. You may think that you can have that short while in the serenity I used to cry over when forced to leave, but you don’t get to keep it. It is not yours to cling to, hold me to. Our worlds may have barely collided skimming past each other, but they aren’t one in the same. To different to be fated, so close to reach. So here I am different, but the same as I cling to the child I once was. She is me and I am she, but one thing we aren’t is you.
