evolution

I can’t keep lying to myself like this.

You were not the best thing that ever happened to me.

You’re out of my reach and my tether to you has been cut,

Cut by a sharp pair of scissors with the name of the one person you told me you didn’t love anymore.

And I couldn’t be more thankful.

The more you talk to her.

The farther you walk away from me,

And the closer I get to my sanity.

We were two minuscule people in an atrocious world,

Now I’m learning to bear it on my own.

Little do you know now I spend more time appreciating those who deserve it,

My vision and heart beat no longer fixated on you.

I no longer ignore the beauty of the world that surrounds me.

My attention is focused on my passions and dreams,

Not how I act or look around you.

Loving you got me to collect my pieces,

But being alone is what glued them together.

I’m gone,

Mentally before physically,

But soon you’ll forget my name as you get re-invested in hers.

Maybe it will restart your toxic cycle,

Maybe it won’t.

I’m not sticking around to see the finale if there is one.

I took pity,

In myself,

In you.

Pity is addictive and unhealthy,

And I refuse to be unreasonably pitiful anymore.

I WANT TO BE HAPPY.

And only I can truly make the right decisions to be just that.
