Are You This Girl?

-
I know a girl who laughed when she was sad
She would cry and then pretend to be glad
She lived a lie so you wouldn’t feel bad
She’d close her eyes and imagine that…


I know a girl who pretends to be someone she doesn’t want to be
This girl lives the life she believes you want to see
She does the things you think should be done by she
She completes the tasks you want her to complete
She is the girl you want her to be


I know a girl who cried when she was alone
And then you would call but she couldn’t answer the phone
She couldn’t talk to you because you would know by her tone
She couldn’t disappoint you so she’d pretend to be gone


I know this girl who has low self esteem
She doesn’t see herself as she should be seen
She doesn’t believe she is worthy of things
So I understand why she refuses to believe

I know this girl who is the victim of dreams
She hopes she can achieve the things she wants to achieve
She lays out her plans and tries to succeed
She closes her eyes and then takes a leap
She waits impatiently patient as she prays and believes
She just wants to do the things that would make your heart beam

There was a girl who lived her life unwillingly
And everything you saw you didn’t really see
She lived so happy unhappily
She told the story she thought you wanted to see
And in the end you believed me
    This is a poem I wrote a while ago. One of the 1st few.

I remember you asking me if there was someone else.  You told me you spoke to a couple people and they said there must be someone else. I guess for them, and maybe for you, they just couldn’t imagine ending a relationship unless there was a third party that stole their heart. It must seem impossible that anyone would prefer to be alone, rather than in an unhappy relationship. Well, the truth is… there was someone else. Yes, someone stole my heart from you. Only, it is not as you would imagine. However, I wasn’t the only one with someone else. You had someone else. The someone was your best friend. And the person who stole my heart from you was me. I remember you asking “is there someone else?” I wanted to say “yes, there it is. You know her very well.” You placed another woman before me, and that was something I would not stick around to deal...

When they're different But they're still the same You've changed the process But the results won't change So you decide to change again And you realize YOU haven't changed So you start to analyze your life You grab a pen and begin to write You need to see where you've been wrong Understand what's really going on You make a few lists... The good. The bad. The ugly, One view of who you are... And one of who you want to be Then you develop a plan to make things right You outline...      develop a  timeline You decide it's time for a transformation This is when it begins...     and life changes copyright 2015
