I Wish I Had Been Able To Sooner/Born To Love

I wish I had been able to break up with her sooner.

I don’t know why I didn’t —I think I was being

Optimistic. I was also depressed and

Doing the best I could for as long as I could.

She didn’t love me when I was broke

She didn’t stand by me or my folks

She didn’t do the basics and

I don’t need to know what she’s up to, I have

Closure. I am more upset with

Myself than I am with her or our relationship.

I am devastated by my lack of self confidence.

I am determined to do better

For me, not for the next one, but just for myself.

I deserve something I haven’t even encountered

Something better than I could have ever hoped

I know it exists because I am simply

Born to love, born to give

Born to receive blessings

Born to live shamelessly
