Only as Good as My Last Breakdown
I want to breathe in
Take some time to say it like it is
People will come, and people will go
Won’t cry over halfhearted friendships
But sometimes I wish they could see things through my eyes
Know that I value my love and devotion
It pains me to see it thrown away like trash
Guess some would say it is what it is
But I say please
If that’s how it’s going to be
Then take that self righteous attitude
And walk it straight out the fucking door
I have the power inside my heart
Won’t depend on anyone’s bullshit anymore
Yeah, best believe that!
I always wear my heart on my sleeve
But lately it’s been bleeding
Every look away is another breakdown
But I’m stronger then some think
Won’t let people see me in that light
Rather say goodbye to fair-weather friends
I have others in my life that deserve my devotion
Ones that give me devotion back
No, I’m not stupid
I see the flickering light
I’m better than an inconvenience
Still, I miss the feeling
The feeling of yesterday
Take some time to say it like it is
People will come, and people will go

Dead on sister! If I've learned anything it's this, if I'm uncomfortable when we part, if I'm worried my confidences aren't safe or any other inkling, I best be looking deep inside myself and ask what does this person give, I know what I give, is it really worth it, sure I care bout him/her, but feeling like this? Ah hell no!!! A definite read list. Well done in provoking my thoughts!! Stay strong, stay true. Much love and respect,

Well I'm a mister. You can call me sister if you like hehe 😜
I just get tired of giving more. I try not to be so cold but there comes a time where I just have to walk away from people. Have better things to do with my time 😁
Thanks for being such a sweetheart!

To be politically correct I'm both, true, but funny! I know the feeling, at times I'm seriously tempted to lock myself away. No bullshit or gossip! Truth be told, if I even smell drama, rude or not, I run, never to be seen again! I'm to old for it, lol. Have a great one, & hang in there. Mad respect and love,

I understand this sentiment. It grows wearying to give more than you receive. I personally have to give more anyway though, it's in my character to be a giver. I still get sad or frustrated at times. Good expression of the imbalance. :)

Oh my, this hit home!
The devotion and the frustration is tangible!
Those last two lines... I felt them deep in my core...
Remember: you are way more than an inconvenience! You are a treasure!!!
Remember: this (these feelings) too shall pass! Hugs ♥

Well like I said, people come and go.
Writing helps me get those feelings out. Once they are out I feel better ^^
Thanks for everything :-)
