Enough

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
