Only now I can see almost clearly
My eyes clouded by devotion
Words of advice I’ve spoken so many times to friends in their time of need
Become the reality check I myself need to hear
Blinded by love for so long
not seeing what was there in front of me
Disconnect
We were not one
Always unbalanced
But trying to force someone to be who they are not
Blaming myself for being too emotional
But now I am proud of my feelings
They take me higher
To another frequency
A stepping stone in the journey of me
Stop
Stop trying to understand something and someone who is not on my level
Feel sympathy, because they could never be in touch with their own souls so deeply
Move
Gracefully and with dignity
Ending the toxic cycle that I allowed myself to repeat so naturally
As though it was what I deserved
Because I’m free
To only except love and respect that I express so easily
Second nature
To see beauty in everything
Disregard imperfections because we’re only human
But unkind actions I cannot excuse
Because I am worth more.
