blindsided

you know when to stop trying 
when it hurts too much 
when all the nitty gritty 
will bother you so
you know when to step back
when it's no longer right
when it's painfully obvious 
you're not the best 
you know when to let go
when it gets to your heart              
and crushes it to a pulp
you know when to say no
when it harbors jealousy
and breeds envy
you know when to walk away
when it feels like a dozen daggers
stabbing deep in your chest.        

you know.
you're not stupid.
far from it.
you're not blind.
you've been taught better.
you know.
but you're trying to deny it.
trying to make it feel better.

but at what expense?
to what length will you go?
to what extent will you let yourself go?
when you're dying alone out there?
when you're too broken to be pieced back together?
dont be ridiculous.
dont take yourself for granted.
God loves you too much for that.
for all that crap.

so, do the right thing.
so, even if you dont want to.
so, it's not what you wish for.
you be the better person.
rise above it.
overcome the sadness.
conquer your feelings.
walk away .
and move fast while you're at it.
for your own sake.

"i crouch like a crow
contrasting the snow
im crippled and slow
for the agony, i'd rather know"
