You surround yourself with backhanded compliments
You let the ego slide past creating an outcome that was not meant for you.
You allowed this accepting, no filters, admiring the truths they saw within
Blinded by your own intentions not aware everyone is not meant to be the same
Their truths aren't the same as your own.
You relate on a level of hearing the same noise
But you don’t stoop to the embarrassment
You stoop lower but allow the words to continue in your face.
You don't let it get to your head
Or do you
You push most things blocking good and bad
Til you realize the binding of the two
You stand for what you believe and feel
Now aware that they don’t see what you put out there
Why would they, they cant even match their own actions to words
You love and be there, for you know their coward choice of topics are catered to their ugly lines fed to the influence they believe is true
This time around you ignore the comments that offer nothing but ignorance
You flip the conversation to a note worth more than the destination
They are not for it
They go back to the talks that lower the beauty of all things
You slowly slip away
They say it’s your fault
The sad part is they will come back
Not because of the realization
But I hope that may be the case
But the reality is the attraction to the light that they lack to feed themselves, so they take
Take and take til you feel yourself dropping again
And then they walk away with what they needed
This time you’re aware, you stop suppressing, you stop obsessing,
You smile
You say thank you
But you know the line of a hello from a shallow bed that sinks to the floor when you start to get comfortable
You align with what you are meant to move forward with
They’ll ask you to go out of your way
When they never went out of theirs
You try and try til you see there is no alignment
You cant force what is no meant to be
No matter how the introduction was made
They ask but never offer
Thinking less of your time , that does not exist in the first place
You no longer are upset with the actions for the pattern is clear as day
It is then for you to move forward because everyone is on their own layout setting up their own template
Create rooms for your own
Instead of cramming in a closet they have made for you
It is never the size of the embrace given, but how it spoken upon giving
No longer wanting to be apart of something that was “lucky” enough to come across
Wanting something that feels right feels real
Never forced
Once letting go of a false reality created by what we are told
The abundance of real spoken features enter
Welcome to the flourished
Welcome to the accepted
Never creating alternatives for each experience
Never muting
Only alternatives are to the feelings of that day
Hi and you are?
I love coffee too
No I stop drinking it
It became necessity
I have it here and there
Cant let the addiction create me again
But i want it
I want it so bad
There’s a lot of things i want
And i can have whatever i want
I bring in what i know i need though
I no longer want to feed things in me that create bad habits
I know what i want
Doesn't mean i should have everything i want
