I Don’t Even Feel the Same on the Inside…
I’ve Swallowed My Pride…Denied…and Really Really Tried…
Maybe…. a Tad Bit Too Much….
For Something or Someone Way Out of Touch….
So Close but Still So Far….
Maybe…. I Let it Get Too Far….
How Could Something Seem So Right???
But in the End be Mistaken…
My Only Question is Why Did it Take ME this Great Length of Time???
To finally See Things for What They Really Are….
Maybe… I Made it This Way…
With Intents that Reality Would Actually Delay….
The Truth and Fact that I am Not First Pick…
Just Here as a Second Choice….
To be a Comparison and Officially Just a Test…
It has Come the Time for ME to Take a Well-Deserved Time Out…
Forsaken, Mislead, and Full of Doubt…
To Feel Numb to It All with No Incoming Sense or Sign of Remorse
I am Attempting to Cope…
While Avoiding My Feelings and Thoughts of False Hope….
It is This False Hope …that Help ME Get to This Very Place…
Looking Around Desiring a New Direction to Turn and Face…
Knowing that My Emotions are Hidden in My Reflection…
Second Chances Can’t Always Be Given...Yet....
Faith is Hoping and Not Knowing …
with that Said ....I Know I am Still Learning and Not Done Living or Growing…
