Shut up and Listen

Progress

I told you! I told you!

I was honest and true.

I wrote it! I wrote it!

I spelled out my wit.

I told you and I

Finally fulfilled my promise

To myself; and I

Don't care about your response.

It's progress you know?

Saying things I couldn't show.

It's progress to not care

About whether you talk or stare.

I no longer wait for you

Or look forward to your texts

Because I'm in this not for you

But for myself, my own mind.

I don't feel that need to impress you

Or try when I'm around you.

I am happy without that stress.

I can live happily without you.

And to be honest,

I couldn't be happier.
