I can no longer tolerate treatment below par
For a start, I am precious and worth the wait
So why settle for anything less?
Compromise after compromise yet here I am
Unhappy and unsatisfied
No amount of alleged potential should be enough to pursue ventures that aren’t for me
Yet here I am reminiscing
I mean I saw the crimson hues of those flags
So why did I proceed?
I was simply yearning for companionship
Yearning to the point I abandoned my standards temporarily for a couple of cheap thrills
The feeling of having someone care about all aspects of you is beautiful
Having a person who understands every single facet of your character YET still choosing you through the flaws is alluring
This beautiful feeling I have been chasing still seems far away
However, as time goes on the necessity to sprint after this feeling dwindles
For what is the purpose of obtaining this feeling in the arms of the wrong one
I will be patient knowing that when the time comes no doubt will cross my mind
There needs to be a change
Starting with going with my gut instinct
Be firmer in my convictions instead of finding myself having a pregnancy scare
No more taking risks with temporary men
No more fear of wondering when and how these arms will inflict disappointment and disrespect
I know I deserve so much better then what I have endured over the years
I will banish any opportunity to compromise
Enough is enough
Because I am enough
