Smile Again
You’re no longer my reason.
I was happy for a while.
Was I really though?
Two of the four years alone.
Just me and Malcolm.
Then I lose my world right after I move out and on.
I do appreciate you coming to show your support for my family.
Does it make up for everything else that has happened since then?
No.
Not at all, not a bit.
All I hear from you are lies, lying every second you can.
For what? Whatever you can have this win.
I’m over it.
Officially.
I will not let you control my emotions anymore.
Why did I allow it for so long?
Thinking I was damaged goods
I deserve to smile again.
I deserve to laugh again, really laugh.
I deserve to be happy.
No more calls from you or your mom about my table.
It’s been two years.
What is that?
Why the lateness?
Again, whatever.
I’ll leave my questions unanswered, not care and move on.
Working on myself, taking the L.
Congratulations. Your win.
