my first college heartburn

By Drako the RighterPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

The whole time I been tryna avoid rejection from others, but I’m my own offender.

Pleasing others with the sacrifice to my authentic expression.

That’s not love, and those who allow you to act from that space — isn’t love either.

He’s there in the pits, he left you to get right and you went left.

Heartbreak I never grieved through.

I lose myself in them, but let a ‘man’ tell it .. that’s what’s suppose to be done

“Right person wrong time” I hear it every time

Was that another lie?

I let go with good faith and things crumbled as such,

Years and years — I felt it and I knew when I saw it .. he’s what I’m looking for, that’s why I didn’t let him go when he said “I don’t want a relationship” not that I could change his mind but I def felt we could kick it and it be understood... until I would see him out in public and he would intentionally be funny
