Twenty Twenty
I'm finally seeing this with eyes wide open
I have no clue why it took so long
I'll chalk it up to hope and irrational thinking
sh*t what was I thinking?
I know my heart was in the right place
but hers obviously wasn't even in the room
must have used an industrialized broom
to sweep all those issues under the rug
and still had it pulled from underneath me
this illogical thinking is beneath me or it should've been
there's no need to pretend what's already known
I was shown what it is
so nevermind what I thought it could be
It's time to free my mind from the superficial
I just keep saying to myself "they aren't you"
In the dating world I used to think
If I did this, and said that, then this would equal to…
what a foolish way to think, yeah it's very optimistic
But man that's sick & twisted
that's the thinking of my predecessors like
if we're non-violent towards them
their hearts will see the errors in their ways
and treat us and love us equally someday
but today I begin my 12 step program with acceptance
Accepting things for what they are
Accept that people are flawed by a wide margin
Accept that time tells all so be patient
and never continue in a relationship where it seems
that you love harder and they seem too complacent
