surviving

poem

By kikiPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I am convinced I’m trying to survive by relying on someone else

I’m falling for him but he is incapable of catching me

I’m trying to survive through the death of a relationship that was filled with fake promises and a few bad intentions

it took a while for me to see reality

it took a while for me to see through the lies and to gain the courage

it is hard when someone is such a good actor to see through them but here I am

my perspective to see that the only person I can rely on will only be me
