Everyone

is excited and proud and happy for me.

And I am grateful for the love and energy that is surrounding me.

It keeps me going on the roughs days and the colds nights.

It’s what makes me know I’m doing something right if all these people who are like family to me are happy for me and want better for me at the end of the day.

I know that hiding or settling because you don’t want to be seen in the end doesn’t help you to grow or become what you want to be.

It just leaves you to keep second guessing yourself and in the end you are more likely to be unhappy and unsatisfied in that part of your life.

And being unsatisfied is a hard thing to live with because it just turns you bitter and mean and your temper is so quick to rise up and come out.

Being one with oneself leads to some much joy and positivity that it’s hard to doubt things when you feel it is right and enjoyable at the same time.

So let’s do what we need and want to do and worry about the rest later for life isn’t meant to be lived focusing on a future you may not be around for but, for living in the present and doing what you want now for later is not always a option.

I’ve been

used and abused by you for too long.

I’m like recycling to you for you just use and reuse me until you are satisfied.

My pain is your gain and at the end of the day, you are not trying to make things better for me.

I have so much to say but I won’t disrespect you.

They say he will deal with you and I hope he does soon.

For I deserve more than this and I’m tired of being mad and frustrated.

I’m just trying to do my best but right now my mind is blown from the lies you said to me.

I’m not a kid and I don’t take the bullshit anymore and I see right through your lies and I want to laugh in your face so bad.

You’re a snake and I’m about to make you regret you ever thought a battle against me would end well for you.

I come to win and I won’t leave until I’m satisfied even if that means you have to suffer more when I’m gone.

I won’t feel sorry for the mess I leave behind because you didn’t care what a mess you were making for me.

Use me and you will wish you never met me.

I can be the nicest person but, do me wrong and you will never see it coming.

I will forgive but, I won’t forget and I will replay it to my advantage.

I’m trouble and you thought the problems you had before were bad but the truth is I’m worst than any natural disaster for when I destroy there is no coming back.

I admire you

I admire the strength you have

Even when you seem not so  sure of yourself.

You embrace the things in life that just  may break someone else

you are stronger than they think.

You  have overcome so much that I just wonder sometime how you could

still be so nice and loving to others, when you feel you are full of darkness.

You smile by day and frown by night

the happiness that seems to be bursting out of you, just disappears when you work out that door and head home for the night.

You enjoy so many things but you feel like you are so wore out that the light is slowly losing the battle as you are too tired to fight off the defects of the darkness.

Will you win this battle with a few scars or lose it with the biggest wound of all?

I guess only time will tell when I see you again.
