Greater

Been all alone, just me and no one else.
Been secluded, but now I’ve found myself.
When together, she thought she made me.
When we parted, she said things would fall apart for me
Because she was the reason.
Better yet, she thought she was the season.
She was wrong…this I knew.
What I found was old, but I thought it was new.
Experiencing her bullshit just put it in clear view.
I gave up so much of who I am
Trying to help her discover what she had inside.
Neglected family and friends, giving her all my time.
She thought she left me fucked up,
But now I’m back and it’s eternally my time to shine.
Saw her the other day. It had been awhile.
She saw me. Her jaw dropped a mile.
I spoke because I didn’t want to be rude.
Mystified by the sight of what she wanted, I went my way
Leaving stupidity’s look upon her face.
She thought I would fall and hurl,
Thought she was the only girl.
She thought she ran me over, leaving me for dead…
Thinking she had brought me to my end.
However, like the phoenix I rose again.
Instantaneously, she realized that she lost because she saw all that I am.
Didn’t appreciate what she had
Until all the other guys viewed her as just a piece of ass they had to have.
I’m not bitter, but I get the last laugh.
Not because of who I am. It’s because of what I am.
‘Thank you’ is all I have to say to my instructor
For helping me to see that I’m greater.
