Backbone
Stuggle is to be expected
But when is enough, enough?
You know it won't be easy
But should it be this tough?
You stay because you can't imagine
Starting back at square one
This is what you've bulit
So you just accept what it has become
Excuses are made to justify
All the decisions made
It could be better, but it could be worse
Maybe one day the doubt will fade
The future holds uncertainty
And this is comfortable for now
So you silence the skepticism
Even when it's unbaribly loud
There might be somone out there better for you
But it's not a guarantee
So self imprisonment is employed
Cause without them you don't know who you would be
And you're too scared to find out
Too scared to be alone
Too scared to take control of your life
When the ending is unknown
So you settle
And your life probably won't turn out bad
But you resent them
For holding you back from what you could've had
So what's it really worth,
Living the "ideal" life?
When you're living it with the wrong person in your head
And the wrong person by your side?
Something wrong with this poem?
