Broken Dam

I guess this is the day I figure out nothing I do will
or could ever impress you, fruitless like everything else
try and try for approval just to wake up one day and realize
you don't fucking need it, and all that time you wasted
trying make someone feel you, or love you was all in vain
and you only needed to see, yourself, and nothing else,
and acceptance and approval one must get from themselves
fuck everybody and what they like or want, time to get
a bit self centered and start living for me, and like you
once told me, "forget the past", "stop living there"
I think I just might but when I leave the past behind
and stop going there from time to time, I will also
have to forget you, and all that I wanted from you,
like a hug or a good job but never got...so
here's to hoping the past shall be forgotten and
you become another faded scar,
one I wont be able to remember how I got.
