Poetry
Into my perfect life
Only to realize
You only cause pain
And more sorrowful strife
I’m a fighter
I never wanted to give up on you
I’m addicted to old relics
I’ve always loved the old more than the new
But I’m learning that if I love myself
I won’t cause myself unnecessary pain
I will no longer force people into my life when it doesn’t make sense
Only to realize I’ve always been in an entirely different lane
I always outgrew you all
Even when I didn’t realize it
But I still saw you all as beautiful
Because that’s just where my heart always is
I can’t be here anymore
It’s time for me to go
I packed my bags
And I’m getting on the train this time
But I thank you for all of the memories
They were amply divine
It’s time to make new memories
It’s time to love new people
It’s time to be somewhere different
It’s time to leave these habits that are oh so crippling
It’s time to love myself
It’s time to heal myself
It’s time to trust myself
It’s time to forgive myself
It’s time to be myself
It’s time to embrace the new
It’s time to release the old
It’s time to stretch myself
It’s time to leave my old self
Myself is constantly evolving.
I cannot stay here with my old self, revolving.
I have to love myself now.
