Peace! Lesson Learned!

No drama’s sting, a heart at peace.
Toxic ties, a thing of the past,
Lessons learned, freedom to last.

Their whispers dark, their barbs so keen,
Dimmed your light, a shadowed scene.
But courage rose, a strength within,
You chose yourself, let healing begin.

Two wasted years, a memory faint,
Replaced by joy, a vibrant paint.
New connections, genuine and bright,
Filling your days with warmth and light.

This milestone marks a victory won,
A celebration, a brand new sun.
Hold your head high, let laughter flow,
The best is yet to come, you know.

So raise a glass, a toast to you,
For strength and growth, a brand new view.
May kindness bloom, and friendships true,
Surround your life, forever new.

I am Moving on

I am Moving on

I’ve given up on you,
I’ve written you off.
I’ve tried to be patient,
But I’ve had enough.

You’ve broken my heart too many times,
You’ve lied to me too many times.
I can’t keep giving you chances,
I can’t keep letting you hurt me.

So goodbye,
I’m letting you go.
I’m not going to waste any more of my time on you,
I’m not going to let you hurt me anymore.

I’m moving on,
I’m finding someone who will treat me right,
Someone who will love me and respect me.

You’re not worth my time,
You’re not worth my tears.
I’m done with you,
I’m moving on.

Friend Like a Weed

I once had a friend,
Whose love was like a weed.
It grew and grew,
And choked the life out of me.

I tried to pull it out,
But it was too strong.
It wrapped its roots around my heart,
And I couldn't breathe.

I finally had to give up,
And walk away.
It was the hardest thing I've ever done,
But it was the only way to survive.

I'm still healing,
But I'm starting to feel like myself again.
I'm learning to love myself,
And I'm finding new friends who love me for who I am.

I'm not saying it's easy,
To walk away from a toxic friend.
But it's worth it,
To save yourself.

You deserve to be happy,
And you deserve to be surrounded by people who love you.
So don't be afraid to let go,
Of the people who are holding you back.

You're worth it.

Stand Back and Do Nothing

When they laugh at you, and no one does anything about it. 
When they attack you, and your so-called friends stand back and do nothing.

How can they call this person a friend? How can they be okay with the things they do?
Stand back and do nothing, call this person a friend and lie to your face.


That is when you know that they are not real friends. 

You don’t say anything, for nothing good will come of it.
You don’t retaliate, for then you will be just like them. 
You try to turn the other cheek, but they hit that one too.
You want to be better than them, but your thoughts deceive you.

You try to say it doesn’t bother you, but deep down you know it does. 
It tears away at your confidence, your trust, your friendships.

And still, they say nothing.
