The Reality

I wake up to learn that it is me who wipes my own tears

Made by men who seem too distracted to care about my emotions

Only taking what they need, leaving me empty

A hope shattered along with the wine glasses I once used

To sip away my most vulnerable feelings

& transform into a place where inhibitions unwind

From lonely, angry, forgotten, and misused

I will no longer be a burden to those unworthy

Of my energy

So I embark on a journey

Searching for the love I left behind when I met you

Heartbroken from the many men whose dirty feet

Walked into the sacred gardens of my mind & heart

With the intent to destroy & leave nothing but

Trails of bitterness, resentment, pain, regret, sorrow,

& unworthiness
