We all face challenges from time to time. Whether it be with friendships, relationships or even ourselves, a lot of us battles that we face inside each and every day. This is a pressing poem I wrote on the matter entitled:
The Road Once Stepped On
Cupid stays on a shooting spree
Yet
I'm still trying to recover from the arrows
So deep in my back
I wonder why I haven't bled out yet
I ponder if love took a break
Because if it's supposed to pierce your heart
Why is it so hard for me to express myself
I mean yes it's easy to say I love you
Some might say it's easier than saying goodbye
It's easier to make someone happy
Than be righteous in your own eyes
I now question every waking moment I say a word
Because sometimes it begins to feel like nothing
And that's not what I want to pass on to the girl that's just…
So down for me
Not when there's no possible way I could lift her up as well
I'm so obsessed with the idea
"Someone cares"
I don't even notice the needles...
The needles she stabs into my ass
As I the once bubbly self I was before leaks out
And dang does it hurt
WHY
Why do I let myself feel so down
So others can press on my nerves
And for once feel above something
I'm tired of feeling like I'm standing in the same place
So others can look back and finally feel that they're running
The only workout I get is jumping to conclusions that maybe this person will be different
Maybe I've met someone who truly cares about me
So as I lift my feet Now
Every step will push forward
Maybe inches
Maybe meters
Until I finally feel I'm soaring
Because the one thing I've come to learn about myself
I'm worth more than many acquaintances
I'm worth people that adore me
Large or small
it doesn't matter
For to be honest I'm not picky
And there's one thing I know
If I stay true to myself
The me you once saw
Is definitely sure to grow
