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.
