I Will Never Be.

I took a little time to revisit my least favorite form of literature... Poetry.  Unless it's Edgar Allan Poe.  I will never dislike his poetry... nevermore.  I wrote this awhile back and forgot about it.  So from my mind to paper to print...  Here it is.

I will never be.

I will never be your second choice. If I am, please move on.
I will never be undone again.  If you think can, just try.
I will never be underestimated.  And if you do, that will be fun.

Life is too short I have learned. I do not waste my time. For you see, it is MY time.  It was given to ME to use as I wish.  Just like your time was given to you.  So do not waste it.  Let's not waste it together.

I will never have my time taken from me again.  You have gotten all you will get.
I will never be the one to teach you.  I taught myself and so can you.
I will never be your door mat.  You can wipe your feet on something else.

Why do I explain myself?  And I do. and very often. Because that's how we learn about each other.
You feel that you don't need to.  Fine.  You don't feel that I need to know.  Fine.
But fuck you.

I will never be stopped.  Only death will stop me.
I will never be your crutch.  I wasn't the one.
I will never be left to wonder.  I don't have time for your mystery.

There are times when I look at you and think how you got too far. From here on, you will never come back to that place. I won't let you. Years from now, I will look back and see how I traveled the road without you and survived.

I will never be yours.
I will never miss you.
I will never stop moving forward.
