Devastated.

Just when I had thought I had seen people's true colors, I have once again been shown and taught a new lesson.

A devastating one.

Just when I didn't think I couldn't learn any more.

I did.

Just when I thought I was able to stand tall.

I was kicked once again when I was down.

It was flaunted.

Waved right in front of my face.

But I can't worry about it.

I won't worry about any of it.

A small circle growing smaller by the day.

The hour.

The minute.

I can only hope that when facing similar circumstances you don't know the pain I do.

The loss.

The desperation.

The hurt.

The isolation.

The desperation.

Realizing if I can't be loved at my worst, I surely don't want to be loved at my best.

Yet I have seen my strength.

How much grit I have.

Determination.

When everyone has left.

I see what hasn't.

Good luck, wishing you all the best
