in this particular moment

These days, I walk away when I should; At this point in my life, I no longer go out of my way To be understood.. Although It would be nice to have someone Who knows what I mean When I say what I have to say, I have learned that Seeking society's approval Is a waste Of the day.. No one is going to Get where you're coming from 100%% of the time But, That doesn't mean That you should change your mind- And make those decisions That would be Relatively easier to accept; I have already spent enough time Sacrificing myself- Sacrificing my happiness For the smile On the next man's face; My heart still beats But At a very different pace.. At this point, I can honestly say That adapting to troubled waters Is much less of a burden Than having faith in a bridge That ultimately Won't serve its purpose

Before you can be successful in any situation, relationship, situationship, you must take time to master self. Figure out your triggers and come up with a plan to harness that energy in a positive manner. Figure out why you make the decisions you make, why you keep the company you keep. Identify the unresolved issues. Nothing has to be corrected overnight. Awareness comes first.
