We all do it We all go through life, Not really thinking of what’s not okay for us
We always think about what we want What we need What we desire
But we never truly think into The things that we truly don’t want The deal breakers of our lives.
Like, have you ever thought What are my deal breakers? What am I not okay with?
I used to treasure you Now I hate you Everything about you All that you are Everything that you were,
But look at me now Now I miss myself I hate the now me,
The me that you gutted The me that you killed The me that I used to love,
I thought you were out of my life, But you just took me out of mine.
It will all pay off You will get where you want to be You will accomplish all those dreams
But not yet ,
There’s so many more walls you need to break More to experience More challenges to fight through
Just continue what you’re doing Fight through everything And eventually, You will become the best you You were made to be
How can something so small Yet so meaningful Hurt us so ?
It can be something small Like a stranger we just met Or the smallest compliment ,
We think about it for days Sometimes even years ,
Really makes you think How much you really mean to someone No matter what you have done for them , No matter how small
My grandmother always told me That the world was always a nasty place No matter how you looked at it Nasty things occurred And Nasty things occurred frequently
But,
It is up to you to change that You can shape the perfect world With just a little bit of care And a lot of commitment, You can change this world Into what it was meant to be.
There comes a time Where we all doubt ourselves All lose some of our light ,
Where we feel the darkness Become surrounded by it Suffocated by its evil ,
But that darkness That we are so terrified of We don’t have to be It can be a good thing ,
Because just like the night sky The darkness inside all of us Lights stars in us as well .
We go through our whole lives Earning all of these scars Whether That be throughout childhood Or our teenage years Even our young adulthood ,
Earning all these scars Through all of our traumatic experiences Learning each step of the way Gaining more and more experience To become the best “us” possible So ,
Don’t look at these scars in a bad light Look at them as teachers ,
They are your abilities Your superpowers .
