I’ll be the Ghost in your smile

You got some of the best parts of me, but not all of me. you didn’t stay long enough to suck me dry; thankfully I wasn’t too willing to let myself go, for I didn’t always trust you.

I saw you today, I thought it would be dreadful, but the moment my eyes met yours I felt nothing. That felt good, to know that no part of me feels weak when you’re present. I saw your heart drop when I walked through the door; you weren’t expecting me. That stupid sly smile you do that used to work, no longer had any power over me.

The problem with you is that you are a lost boy, you don’t know where you are going, what you are doing or even what you want. You’re so afraid to fail at anything, and you’re so god damned arrogant. The world and experiences will humble you, hopefully. And if you refuse to fail at anything, you’ve already lost. Mistakes and failures are what make us better.

Perfection doesn’t exist and you spend your life trying to create it, what a waste. I’m imperfect, I’m quiet but loud, I’m sassy, I speak my mind, I’m bullheaded and independent. I am not good with emotions, I don’t to share too much, I’m bold and brave and strong and loving. I enjoy all of these things about myself, I am not a trophy, and you say I’m too much. The only explanation is that you’re too little of a man to appreciate me.
