For Good.

I’ve heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true
But I know I’m who I am today
Because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You’ll be with me
Like a hand print on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend…

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you

I have been changed for good.

For Good - Wicked

Me, Myself, and I.

Strength.

Something I’ve struggled with this past year.

Even in the worst of times, I never gave up.

Taking what little strength I had left, and pushing myself to live another day.

Growing stronger and stronger every time I successfully achieved my goal.

Never too proud to accept help.

Sometimes giving in to what made me weak.

Always staying true to what I believed was right.

The best feeling used to be hearing him say, “I’m in love with you.”

He was my weakness. He lead me away from the strength I once had.

Now the best feeling is knowing I’m okay without him.

Knowing I’m strong.

Me, Myself, and I.

Look at the Moon.

“The stars out there were amazing….”

I thought to myself before replying for fear of sounding absolutely ridiculous.

“Every night you were gone…”

I hesitated.

I knew his face so well, and it wasn’t telling me he didn’t want to hear what I had to say.

I continued.

“Every night you were gone, I found myself staring at the moon. It was the only thing that brought me and kind of comfort. I knew that that same moon was shining where you were, and maybe, just maybe, you’d happen to be looking at it too. At the very same moment.”

He smiled and said, 

“That’s really sweet, Brittney.”

I can’t look at the moon anymore.

Scared.

The awful words I spoke to you are running through my head. 

I meant every word. I hate you. I’ve never hated anyone quite this way.

I hate you so much, but I’m so scared.

I’m so scared that something bad will happen while we’re on bad terms, and I won’t get to apologize or make it right.

I’m so scared you won’t make it home one day, and maybe I won’t find out for months and months.

I’m so afraid that you’ll never know how sorry I am, for everything.

So instead of bothering you, and calling you to apologize,

I pray every night that God keeps you safe.

I Hope It Kills You.

I meant every single word.

It’s been a long time coming, and you deserved it.

Don’t you dare even think about talking to me again. 

Because to me, you don’t exist.

I hope it kills you.

I hope it bothers you every single day.

I hope you can’t sleep.

and I hope you feel the same way I did.

I hope it kills you.

I guess this is goodbye.

I’m finally okay.

I thought it would never happen.

I realized you’ve changed, and I realized I don’t like it.

I realized I’m happier when I’m not trying anymore.

I’m okay with it.

So I guess this is goodbye, for now at least.

No more tears. No more heart ache.

This smile doesn’t depend on you anymore.

Be Careful,

-Brittney
