Proud

...

By Harydo NeonPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

I am proud of your demeanor

Happy to see you smile more

I'm proud of the path you starting to walk on

Proud of the way you decided to switch the lights on

The strength you put into killing your flesh more

The will and zeal to make yourself whole a lot more

The self examination to understand where you sore

The courage to acknowledge the light shining through the ajar door

Strength in waking up daily

Pushing through your many failings

The work you've been putting lately

The grace to heal where you've always been ailing

I know how easy it is to say "it's over"

To put the pen down, off a bridge in that Rover

Drown in liquor and hang yourself till it is over

East to let your alter ego take the wheel, run people over

Seems like you are merging those two together

The most anticipated crossover

Who you want to be and who you are, texting on a daily

The sacrifices needed, served to be eaten in a state of lonely

Medusa called to warn you, keeping you ahead of snakes

When the Daphne arrives, the Simon in you would know take the cake

Proud of you burying the hatchet with Zeus

It's what I have always wanted, I have been dropping clues

I am proud of how you're learning to accept you

Your mistakes are what made you this powerful
