Distraction
I went away from all things
I knew.
I changed my view on life,
paid attention to the little things.
I learned to appreciate the small gestures
made by strangers walking by.
I left
to take away the pain
of the heartbreak,
to spend time with
loved ones,
to fulfill my dream
of adventuring,
to focus on myself,
and my self-worth.
I do not need a boy to
make me happy.
I do not need a best friend to
feel complete.
I do not need makeup to
be beautiful.
I do not need dollars
to make change.
sometimes,
life blows up in your face...
and that's okay.
the pain will only make you
tougher.
