I just

Advertisements

want to let go of all the frustration go because I’m tired of being mad and unsatisfied by the things that this life has been throwing my way.

I don’t want to be bothered with and so I start to distance myself for I just want to survive but, I don’t want to be involved anymore.

I’m here in this place with you but, I’m not going to keep giving myself because well I’m done and I don’t care anymore.

I know that now I just see what this really is now and I won’t sink anymore for I’m not about to save them all when in the end I’m just losing myself.

No one wants or needs to be saved at this time and even if I try which I have, it just comes back around as a failed attempt.

I’m done jumping through the many hops to only not please myself but no one else either.

I have learned that giving too much just ends up with you begging for some help when all your lifeboats are gone and there is no one around to save you.

Because they didn’t care in the first place to make sure you had a way out, you were dispensable and they had no desire to keep you around.

You were used up and washed out and well now you didn’t look like someone they needed to depend on, for there is always someone better just waiting for you to drop the ball.
