Strength & The Mind

To think of my growth, I think of you

Regardless of the outcome

You were there, then you were gone

Touched me solefully and then left me behind

My anger lead me to regretting my connection with you

But then I realized, nobody is worth my power

Nobody’s wrongdoings are worth my dignity and strength

You helped me through the dark, then abandoned me

There is nothing I can do about that

The truth is tough, I am my own person

Although your positivity and aura stuck with me

I was truly the only one who built the optimism inside of me

You were once the best thing to have ever happened to me

And I realized, even good things can disappoint

It is up to my own soul to take on these feelings

It may still hurt to think back on what we had

Or what I thought we had, But time changes everything

And I am willing to be my most authentic self without you here

For growth is what leads us all into the best forms of ourselves

People come and go for a reason, and I do not need the toxicity

The toxicity I always wanted to deny, for I only wanted to look at the good

But gazing at reality is the best one can do for their spirit

And that is what I will continue doing

Inspiring message! I admire how aware you are on the matter of the situation. There is legitimate mature wisdom behind these words, and they come together quite nicely. Lovely poem, well done. :)
