Going Solo

 

I realized today how true these words are, not just for lovers,

but also for friends. I rely on others too much, I expect too much.

And when I find out that a person isn't willing to be there when I'm in pain,

I lose a little more faith. A little more trust. And a lot of the openness.

I know I'm a hot mess, and I hate it. I'm a work in progress.

But I'm coming to realize I'm better off doing the work alone.

When I'm stronger, I won't rely on others to hold me up;

I'll be able to do it myself. And choose who shares me at my best.
