What It Is

What It Is

A Poem by crystalxestrada
"

Note to self: you can't see the best in someone who can't even see the best in themselves.

"

Always tryna excuse the disrespect 

I need to focus on my self-respect 


Constantly looking for love where this is none 

Tell me I mean sumn, you don’t mean none 


Tryna teach you a thing or two money can’t buy 

All you keep telling me are beautiful lies


Tryna show you, you’re better 

Even when you be under the weather


I don’t care about your flaws 

Being with you comes with no cost 


Finding out I can’t change you 

It breaks me to realize I create you 


False scenarios in my head 

The healed version of you, you could never comprehend 


And then things come to an end

Telling me things like I’m more than just a friend


But maybe it’s all just pretend 

It’s not real, just like you said 


If you cared enough, things would not end 

That’s just the way the cookie crumbles, ill just make amends
