A Beautiful Composition of Broken

you’re trying to be everything
to someone who doesn’t care
for you

i found more of myself
in the loneliest of hours

in order to heal properly
you must walk away
from what broke you

talking shit about others
won’t reduce the shit
in your life

it’s like i want to be alone
but i want to be touched

you were never
what i needed
you never became
the person
you promised to be

reclaim your voice
and say what you need
to say
do not be silent
be loud
be unapologetic
be entirely you
without regret

the first one we love
is often the one
to teach us about pain

there’s a black hole
where your heart used to be
and i won’t judge you for that

i admire your ability to fight
i admire your ability to go to war
for all the things
you know you deserve
