Prioritize

it’s hard to prioritize peace 
But to rid myself of this unwanted pain 
Of this tiresome situation,
I have to prioritize me 

it took way to long to realize I Was stuck 
In a cycle of love,lies,regret then  disgust 
And acknowledgement was my first step 
To realizing there was nothing left.
But apologies and forgiveness 
Tho my forgiveness run out 
For my eyes have now dried
For I am no longer able to shout

I am unable to shed tears so I will no longer try
I rid my self of all my insecurities, all my reasons to cry, 
For my cup has run empty 
And I simply can not bare,yesterdays pain 
Because I simply do not care.

And it took many situations for my care to run out 
Please Don’t fool yourself into  thinking this was sudden
It took the tears from what I actually needed 
And You let my tears fall for nothing 

And for that you deserve less,
Less than you’ve given  me 
however,  I wish you a lover who is willing, I wish you peace 
I wish you the ability to correctly portray your feelings 

I wish you the contentment that I feel now
I wish that you reach where I am without figuring out how 
It feels to be in my shoes 
For I don’t think you could exist as me
And for that I look at you, I cry for you with nothing but pity
Which once was anger but I’ve learned to overcome 
and through this rugged convalescence
I prioritize me, I am Done
with tears, with lies with withholding the truth
for I now prioritize my peace, my pleasure, my heart… I will no longer prioritize you
