On Top Of The World


I once knew someone.

he was strong,

kind,

helpful,

encouraging. 

I dont know him anymore.

I cut him from my life, 

so I wouldnt hurt him.

I told him.

He forgave me.

But there was someone else.

I spiralled.

 

But now I choose to be happy.

There are so many good things left in my life.

If he wants me back, 

good.

But I can't sit here waiting.

I choose to be happy.

I choose to love,

to live,

to not be distracted.

Not be preassured into things I dont want.

I choose to slay my demons.

I choose to be on top of the world.

I wont lie,

it was not easy.

But if your lucky,

you realise,

theres no point.

From now on,

I come first,

my mentality is important.

My mental health is as important as my physical health.

So,

I choose.

I decide.

I pick.

I choose, decide, pick me.

Im on top of the world.

No one can stop me.
