my game's called 'Self-respect'
they play this game
they think it's fun
to scar someone's soul-and when
their Conscious lets out a muffle from
where it being suffocated..
they burp out an empty apology.
and I am suppose to accept it.
not this time.
she said sorry..i looked at her
levels of depth digging in my eyes
waves of thoughts streaming in my mind..
till it was one perfect wave
that let out a tide from my mouth
and i watched as it it hit her,
surprised.
i forgave her for my own sanity
,rejected her fake apology
and watched her make sense of the puzzles i'd just thrown in her face
as I walkedd away.
my game is called Self-respect.
..and no,
it's not at anothers expense,
but i debt i owe myslef.

I've met some pretty horrible characters in my life, who've done things i never thought people who you could call friends would do. but I learnt and grew. and I thank them for making me stronger.
