' Ain't got nobody in all this world, ain't got nobody but ma self. I's gwine to quit ma frownin' and put ma troubles on the shelf'
-Langston Hughes
Alone, but not lonely
Content, but not happy
I learned an ordeal from you...
that life ain't no fairytale,
and that you can't spend ya
whole life... Dreamin'.
I made mistakes...
alot
not because of you but
because of myself.
From my mistakes I learned...
that all I have is myself.
I learned that no one will
truly love me but me.
That's what I intend to do.
Quit my frownin' and love me, like I thought...
you did.
