i've been in survival mode these past few weeks. i need to start living again. i need to eat healthily. i need to get enough sleep. i shouldn't be feeling so exhausted all the time. i'm still young.
i almost don't want to write this but i remind myself this isn't for you. this is for my own release. time and time again i gave second chances. a part of me has completely turned away from you now. you won't get anything more than surface level from me anymore. i hadn't seen this side of you for a while so i forgot how awful you could be. no compassion or empathy. just relentless nagging and no care to my feelings at all. you didn't care to think that i had been overworked. you didn't care to think that i was holding back so i didn't burst into tears there and then. you never say sorry cause you never think you're wrong. but you were wrong. the way you acted wasn't okay. everyone else felt the tense air and told me it wasn't right. i hate when you act like that and expect me to treat you like normal after. that's not fair. it's not fair for you to have unrealistic expectations and drain me, scold me, bother me for not reaching them. i'm so over that attitude that you show when you feel like enough hasn't been done. i'm mostly hurt that i was working so many days, and each day still worked overtime to get things done. meanwhile you were off and didn't think at all about the hell i'd gone through when i was alone. you didn't think of the fact that i was physically and mentally drained. you were just focussing on what else needed to be done. just nitpicking and repeating the same points over and over. no response i gave satisfied you. i knew you just wanted me to agree, that i was in the wrong, that you weren't asking for much. no. you were expecting to come back to everything being perfect. you were expecting a 4 man job out of 3 people. you knew the only way that would happen was if i were to bend myself backwards even more, stay back at work even more and bleed myself dry even more. i deserve an apology. not that look on your face.
"Newday,new wishes" It's a new day, The sun rises up, The clouds are stillthere, Its smiles at me, Then i say my morning prayers, I say to my self its, New day,time for new wishes.I bless my day,Success is mine Off to prepare for school. New Day,new wishes...
these days i get more tired but that's okay; i'll keep it simple. i'll get enough sleep, eat a meal, take my vitamins. i'LL WORK HARD AND SWEAT IT OUT. i'm so tired. but i'm still GOING TO BE okAY.
now everythings on the line it's do or die. blood thicker than water and if you float i'll sink. i'm kind but i'll pick me everytime. and everyone likes the nice girl but no one respects the nice girl. so idc about playing nice anymore.
you couldn't even look at me. not even in my direction. not so much as a smile let alone a conversation. now you need something so here you are. i won't reply. i don't need you to like me, i've decided i don't care.
that's who i am, i withstand. rain storm and hurricane, i made it out alive again. through stress bouts and booby traps. i learned too much to just give in now. i hate it for the most part but i just can't cave. the anxious feeling that etched a home in my chest, i'll get her to move out some day. cause this skin is my home and this heart beats for me. i will become mostly happy again.

cause now i look forward to seeing you and that smile. that smile is stuck on repeat in my mind. in my mind i'm imagining the new conversations we'll share. we'll share stolen glances and make new memories i can keep. i keep wanting to make you laugh i keep wanting to share bits and pieces of my life with you. can i keep you?
so what we gonna do, babe? do what you want. but there's a lot at stake. what should i do, babe? there's no right or wrong answer but i can't make a mistake. choosing between peace and patience, sanity and perserverance. should i just be selfish? but you're not being selfish. eitherway i'm afraid and confused. with each passing month my decisions become more serious. i guess i'm really grown up now. my decisions carry more weight now.
