Note to Self
As I sit and watch you cry
And spill your pain in my lap.
I hope you know I’m taking note
Reflecting on my own past actions.
Taking note on what not to do.
Figuring out the human brain
How we work
Our main flaws.
The problems of the younger generation.
Love.
Love.
Love.
The notes always relate to love.
It’s like we can’t escape it.
Love makes us cry the most.
It makes us think someone is better than they actually are.
Such a great feeling.
Burn and crash.
Here come the tears.
Note to self never break a heart.
Oops I just broke one 3 weeks ago.
As you tell me your story
I realize I did all the same stuff
As this terrible person you tell me about.
I could have been the one to make you cry.
I’m no better than that person.
I just realize it.
It’s like a conscious evil.
Nobody is perfect
But we could do so much better.
Maybe hearing this story about myself 3 weeks later
Will stop me from doing it in the future.
Just let me take note
As I watch your endless tears drop.
Temper tantrums
Kicking of legs,
Gritting of teeth,
And smacking of face.
3 weeks ago that was her.
But that’s when I didn’t take note.
Here I am now watching
Judging
Feeling sympathy
Not knowing what to say
And thinking
Note to self.
