Accepting the truth is one of the hardest things that you can do,
Because most of the time , it is not what you wanted to happen to you.
It is not how you thought your future self was going to live,
And you want to keep fighting, but at this point, it feels like you having nothing left to give.
Every time you get excited, it all seems to come crashing down,
And it feels like you are struggling to keep your head up, because you refuse to allow yourself to drown.
At the same time, it feels like you are barely staying afloat,
And you can't seem to swallow the lump that is stuck in your throat.
You tried so hard, but it never seems to work,
Because you think you are always going for the right ones, but they always end up being jerks.
They are just really good at telling you everything you want to hear,
And they have no desire to pursue you, but in case it doesn't work out, then they will keep you near.
Because you are not good enough as a first choice, but they will take you as a second choice,
And they will keep doing it in the hopes that you never find your voice.
In the end, you are tired of settling for less,
When they are giving you their worst, and you are giving them nothing but your best.
You are tired of letting it get to you and control how you feel about you,
Because they are not worth your time, and you have so much better things to do.
In the end, you have learned to focus on your goals and to let it all go,
Because you refuse to let them see you cry, and you refuse to let your negative feelings show.
