Don't Compete Where You Don't Compare

The second I fell in love with my loneliness

I felt the need to loathe myself in a shower of shame

Uncontrollable thoughts of you with another woman 

Feeling as though I could never compare 

With those Latin hips filled with energy 

And her sweet laughter 

The kind that welcomes your company  

Where as I have only ever driven you away 

And continuously poured my heart 

Into something that never belonged to me in the first place 

She doesn’t need anyone to feel complete 

Only herself 

Yet, we both seek comfort in your words at the end of the day 

To which I’ve never received 

And she is the one that is chosen  

Always attempted happiness with you 

But you’re a giver 

She was the one that took 

While I played the fool time and again

[Ballpark Frank]

Such a sad situation. The emotion expressed or described sounds real. Well done.

[Twizzler]

This is all too relatable and very well written. Many of the lines are things I've said to myself at one time or another.

I simply can’t deal with the competitive aspects of dating. Wanting to be enough is all I ask for but rarely am given the reassurance

[HadesRising]

Reading this I really feel like wanting to hug you, I'm very empathic towards this, know you aren't alone, and also a real good piece you wrote.

Thank you so much!
