Certificate of Love

A long time ago, I was a lot better off. A long time ago, I didn't have to worry about anything. A long time ago, I used to care about a lot of people. A long time ago, I used to think a lot of people cared about me. A long time ago, I used to be in love. A long time ago, I was given a certificate of love. Certificates are supposed to be physical manifestations of an accomplishment, something that is not supposed to be transient. Here is that certificate:

"
CERTIFICATE OF LOVE

No matter where
You are
No matter what
You do
You'll be in my
Heart
'Cause i'll always
Love you
"

A long time ago, I used to things like this literally. But i've learned to think otherwise.

I've figured out a lot of things about people and the relationships that i've had with them. I am, for the most part, alone. How many of you even know what happened to me during the summer? How many of you did something to help me or even make yourself aware of my well-being?

Being alone and going through the things i've been through for the past 2 years has taught me a few things.

1) The only person that can look out for me is me.
2) The only person that I can really trust is myself.
3) The only person that really cares about me is me.
4) The only person that can assure my survival is me.
5) The only person that I should actively worry about is me.

I used to think otherwise. But i've grown, thank you for helping me grow.

It's time for me to take my life into my own hands and do what I was meant to do with it all along; Live.
