Until My Last Breath
a place I once felt was home
now feels old and dull
how is it that I
told myself I would never let it get this bad
yet here I am
in a crummy wasteland
but no longer
because if this place is gonna burn
it won't burn with me in it
I know you can see it in my eyes
the same look I saw in others
before they sought bigger dreams
now it's my turn to fly
look out
I'm running like a train
crashing through every obstacle
grabbing towards every goal
and if I should fail
i'll simply keep going
because now I see
the value of ME
I have the best girl
can't simply settle for mundane
she deserves the world
makes me sad when great things must end
but now I know
we must let those things go
otherwise we will never find more
just complacency
had my priorities all messed up
thought others would see my value
if I just simply kept my head down
did as I was told
that's not how the world works
must shoot passed the suppressors
become beyond their hold
much like when I was younger
I still can take on the world
until my last breath
now feels old and dull
how is it that I
told myself I would never let it get this bad
yet here I am
in a crummy wasteland
but no longer
because if this place is gonna burn
it won't burn with me in it
I know you can see it in my eyes
the same look I saw in others
before they sought bigger dreams
now it's my turn to fly
look out
I'm running like a train
crashing through every obstacle
grabbing towards every goal
and if I should fail
i'll simply keep going
because now I see
the value of ME
I have the best girl
can't simply settle for mundane
she deserves the world
makes me sad when great things must end
but now I know
we must let those things go
otherwise we will never find more

if I just simply kept my head down

Oft, we cling to things that no longer have the capacity to contribute to raising one’s wellbeing, holistically; both emotionally & psychologically.
If your connections with people are impacting upon your relationship, perhaps your introspective pondering will be the catalyst that triggers the kind of growth you might be craving, on a deeper level.
Either way, I’m sure you’ll figure it out and be a little selfish, by doing what’s right for you... 🖤🌻

I kinda made a small choice the other day, but I feel it's a step in the right direction. A selfish one but one that I think will be good for me overall. Hopefully people understand in the long run.
Always happy to hear from you, friend 😁

Even if people don’t understand; all that matters is that you do you for you as those people aren’t always going to be around when you might need them the most.
Unless, of course, you place them strategically in your life to proffer such to, and for, you and you alone.
Hope you have a lovely day... 🖤

It's funny how sometimes we unintentionally set limits on ourselves based on our perceptions or hopes that others will see us. In the end, it looks like you're breaking through those barriers. Do what ya gotta do for you
