A New Leaf

The anger, the fury, the wrath Stemming from my inability to circumvent the truth The truth that lies deep in your eyes and deep in my soul But alas, I will not succumb to the futile fantasy You are not the embodiment of my vision Merely a representation of idealism I feel destroyed, my dignity on the floor Here I am picking up the pieces Rebuilding myself into the person I want to become A better, strong version of myself Putting my past to shame Learning to live for the love that truly is Instead of a dream that doesn’t deserve fruition
