You only have you

You only have you

A Poem by France_with_an_s
"

title speaks for itself

"

I don’t know what I’m doing 

But your scent speaks enough 

After a lot of times bailing 

Is this right or another path in rough


We were just kids 

Playing with the word soon 

how is it soon already

But I don’t feel this bloomed


I have disconnected 

From a lot of people and the world 

Is fate really giving us another shot 

Or is fate just really bored 


Had something awakening 

Not good but not bad 

Not a real thing but something 

And I think it’s something we had


I'm still locked out 

From reality and this 

And being alone feels refreshing 

And I still haven’t had enough of that bliss 


I feel freed 

from every thought love has made me 

And I just wanna chain my mind 

To stick to what made me choose me 


I can't pick up the pen and write again 

Can’t put the stain back again 

I'm tired and zoned out 

I just wanna lay down and regain 


I don't wanna see birds 

Flying out in the sky 

I wanna feel my emotions 

I’ve been denying the whole time 


I don’t rely on other people anymore 

I don’t expect from anyone anymore 

Cause the only person that gets me right now 

is the person staring at me in the mirror


And the same butterfly coming back 

Confuses me from my heart to my bones 

It felt like I grew back to the person I was 

And the person who people owns 


I’m not so sure but I am aware 

Of what's right and what I can bare 

Like the things that I think of 

And the things I learned how to not be afraid of 


We keep coming back 

To this hole shoved down to the ground 

We didn’t grew apart 

We just forgot what we had and went apart 


we keep coming back 

not because it is right but because it’s familiar, 

We keep coming back 

not because it’s as comforting but because it was our framed picture


I wanna stare at the lake 

Throw pebbles in a good state 

Throw myself in a puddle 

To remind me not to struggle 


All of the black smoke has had enough 

All of the flowers have gone rough 

But i made me a breath of fresh air 

To stare at the sun setting freely and fair 


I don’t ever wanna have the key 

of the cage I put you in 

when me myself was put in a cage 

cause of walking on a line so thin 


I’m so done with people-pleasing 

I just wanna decide freely without people judging 

I didn’t wanna have bad blood against anyone

But right now, sacrificing what people thinks of me 

Is the right and best thing somehow 


I have zilch energy 

for facing the monster 

I have no interest 

in holding hands like lobsters 


I can now realize

That staring at someone’s “real eyes” 

Doesn’t make me teary-eyed 

But makes me see their real lies


I can now realize 

That it’s me whom I can trust 

Me who can prevent the rust 

Me who can clean out the dust 


Snap and set back to reality 

The scene I want is to fly freely 

Solo is not so lonely 

When you know how to appreciate you and you only
