From The Bird's Nest

Tied

They say you'll find a strength in you to do the impossible,
You can, trust me I've tried.
There is one problem however,
Cut your negative ties.

I found that people pull you down.
Their mentality affects your own,
So much so that I ended up weak and oppressed,
In need of happiness to loan.

I realised that someone I thought was perfect,
Was a complete and utter fraud,
They were killing me softly as they're say,
Cutting at all my chords.

A year ago I never realised
The person I was turning into,
Because I believed everything he said,
Everything bad was true.

I failed as a human for a month after,
I acted withdrawn and unknown,
I ignored those who called out to me,
I was sorry for the mind I chose.

After weeks of pity,
I finally saw some light,
Because I realised I'm not what he thought,
And I pushed back his knife.

I severed his rope to me.
I decided 'friends' was not wise,
Because he had more fuel to hurt me,
And thus I cut my ties.

Now a year on, I'm happy,
Inside and out.
To this day I still think,
Why didn't I reach out?

I can feel beautiful for the qualities I have,
I don't worry about who likes me,
I don't fear that someone may love me again,
Instead, I'm glad to be free.

This is something that matters to me. Its true. I want people to kno that if someone belittles you or even attempts to tell you that a quality you have needs changing, Cut Your Ties, people like that in this world are undeserving of you.

You are beautiful.
Just the way you are.
If they can't see that.
Don't bother your heart.

This is also based off my own experiences a year ago.
Don't end up feeling wasted like I did.
Don't end up scared of who you really are like I did.
Don't keep someone around who tells you you are ugly like I did.

This is a plea to you all. Love and be loved, it doesn't work one way.

Okay, rant over, promised I won't get emotional or start a riot. Enjoy the rest of ye day sweethearts. Be with ye soon ❤
