The Truth I Avoided
I want different, I want better. Its a lot that I put up with that did not do anything except put me down. Its not until the day ends and the night begins where I'm able to finally see what lies within me. I see what makes me feel unimportant. I see what makes me feel taken for granted. I see what makes me feel unloved. I see what makes me feel. The thing about wanting different, wanting better, means letting go of the people and the habits that can block it from happening. I say I don't know, but deep down I know. I know what triggers me, I know why it triggers me. I know what bothers me, I know why it bothers me. I thought I didn't know why I tolerated the things I did. Was it because I didn't love myself? Was it because I didn't know my value? Truth is, I put up with stuff that puts me down because I know if I didn't, it would risk losing the person who doesn't deserve access to me anyway. How can someone who brings such discomfort and sorrow also be the same person I am not ready to lose yet? But like I said... I want different, I want better...
