Ms.Understood..


Look what you made me do Better yet, look what I have done I have traveled too far and long To see who I am, and who I have become You could barely find A hint of happiness being found in my eyes Redundant in my lies Constant pain Why? See It was I. Me. All along feeling sorry and lonely. Greedy. Needy of someone to hold me. Console me. Spend time, Show me. What I thought was love But, It was A figment of my imagination Hearts I've destroyed and taken. Vacant Feelings Emotions that need more than healing The crime I've done for many years still haunts my soul. Actions that are better than what is being told. Sold, in the illusion of happily ever after But my fairytale is far from ending its first chapter. Trap Her Let her go through this fantasy of pain Let every man she comes across break her frame Her self respect Her name The intellect in her brain Until she realizes what she is capable of acheiving Anything in her past, just leave it Dream Big Believe it. Believe in your success and no one else In the end Nothing is holding you back, but yourself.

I love the play on words in the title of this poem, and I think the last line is the most powerful. It is so true, that the only way we are going to get where we want to be in life is if we try our hardest!
