Over a year has passed.
I recalled my history
and realized
not much has changed.
I read my own words
that sound so needy
so hurt
and almost pathetic.
I wore my heart on my sleeve.
But what hurts me the most
is that nothing has changed.
I'm still falling for the guys
That I can only have
for such a short time.
And when I fall,
I fall hard.
I don't give myself enough credit.
I still have trouble convincing myself I'm beautiful.
I've learned to take compliments,
but actually believe them,
I'm still working on that.
I always try to learn from my past.
Some situations have made me stronger
But why is it the ones I want to change,
the ones where I fall too hard and get hurt,
where I never think things will work out,
where I have no faith anymore -
why can't I learn from those?
Why can't I just accept the fact
that maybe someone likes me?
It isn't in me.
I wasn't raised that way
My childhood wasn't filled with romance
or being adored
I was always the one crushing
and soon after being crushed to pieces.
You'd think I would have learned by now
Yeah, I would think so also,
unfortunately,
I haven't.
