"So I paid less time to your callused mind, and I wished you well as you cut me down."
-Mumford & Sons, Holland Road
So I know I was really slow in getting another one of these poems up, but better late than never right? This quote is from a song by Mumford & Sons. Their music is really good so you should check them out!
****
I finally got sick of it.
I eventually hit a wall.
I decided I was tried of hearing your lies,
And hypocrisy.
I was sick of trying to impress you,
When I knew I'd never succeed.
I became bullet proof,
And stopped caring what you thought of me.
Your idea of perfect is different than mine,
I now know what I value.
Because I know you're not worth it,
And neither are the daggers you aim at me.
People can only be second best for so long before they go to find someone new,
For so long you made me believe I was the monster,
But now I finally know it's you.
