I am worth more

Olivia.

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.

        Interesting read. Seems you've got personal relationships, romance and so on sorted, Olivia. At least that aspect of your life should go well.
        Now for the rest....

        • Olivia.

          I have been inspired recently from a relationship that didn’t quite work out how I wanted. I have written multiple pieces. I think when you feel emotional the words just flow so easily. And I find it therapeutic. X

              We must always be true to ourselves and in that truth we will find others that are worth trusting.
