dirty path
That night you realize all you've become is the midnight call for pleasing- stroking of the immense ego that will never be all about you. When you finally realize what it's like to be the utter dirt raising someone's unrighteousness shoes... On a path much unrecognizable by yourself. When you finally discover your worth to those who were thought to have mattered most, only to uncover despair & disappointment rooted in that dirt you had helped lift and create. To finally realize your path is just as worth. That the only way to prove it to them, is to prove it to yourself. To love yourself and invest in your soul, even if they can't or won't. To except your weaknesses and challenge them to a battle for the high road. I promise myself I will not & cannot be the stepping stone guiding someone else toward a destination much unlike mine. But that I will leap my own hurdles and steer my own reins to becoming the person I only hope to be.
