On The Brink Of Letting Go.... Poem by quiet storm

I’m guessing its been awhile....
since you last saw everything
out of your own eyes
always living for the people
that surround you, never following
what’s really in your heart
it's like you don’t even comprehend
the opportunities we are blessed
with day in and day out....
what else is there to live for
besides the gift of being alive?
you've fallen so far away from what
you were supposed to become
and yet you continue eating away at deception
you continue to hollow out inside....
i just don’t understand how you
can pretend to be so happy
when its clear that you've fallen to pieces
it's like you don't have the guts to
just be you....

selfishness has taken everything that made you special
and swallowed it whole...and with every day that
passes you will continue to choke on the mere
fact that you've changed for everyone else but yourself

you always destruct at the center of attention...
