I Wasn’t Always Like This

I wasn’t always like this you know I was kind and optimistic  I saw the world in colors You see I wasn’t always like this I wasn’t always like this I went above and beyond my duty to help others  You see, Silly, selfless girl I used to be I wasn’t always like this  I smiled often, and laughed a lot Everyone loved me you know  Well that’s what I once believed You see, I wasn’t always like this you know I continued to give him my best In exchange for random “I miss you” text Damn him! One mistake and he didn’t hesitate. He left! I wasn’t always like this  I loved to sing, while sitting idly in the park And scream from the top of my lungs My life was filled with fun you see I wasn’t always like this I once dreamt and believed I knew how to enjoy my today’s and look forward for my tomorrow’s  With a graceful contentment I wasn’t always like this  I was bubbling with passion Because I was convinced that men could be awaken  But fear is much more powerful than love, you know I wasn’t always like this  Running away from life Welcoming whatever will shield me from what is to come next You see, I wasn’t always like this

Walk Away!

Leave, Knowing you are Not indispensable But absolutely  Irreplaceable Let them Search for you In beautiful smiles And unfamiliar faces Let their failure To find you again Teach them To appreciate you Twice in your absence Let them  Sit with half-filled  Glasses With eyes that will  Never shine the same Knowing that Your loss  Was never meant To be their gain  Leave! Leave them  Wondering, Returning To your  Memories, Let them long  To have you Again
