surrender
When a compromise becomes a surrender
like a twig my insides break in two and im unstable again
to surrender my pride and my feelings i know to be true is one thing but to surrender my heart to you
something i promised myself id never do has broken more than the organ that gives me life
see when my compromises turn into surrenders my mind is on a constant repeat of how i got to be submissive
to sweep uneasy feelings under the rug and hope you don't feel the bumpiness when you get home
i begin to question my morals and my standards for myself
when did i become this passive submissive female yearning for thel ove of someone when did i become the girl waiting by the phone and is that all ill ever be?
why when i compromise does that make you happy
victory all in the creases of your smile, why do i need to be a lesser version of myself to appease this relationship
When my compromises became my surrender i felt it like my heart skipped a beat and two stones fell into my shoes immobilizing me
and as my heart feels like its falling and i can do nothing but watch i begin to wonder when did that one compromise become a surrender of myself
