It Took a Long Time
Me...
I come first.
It took a long time,
For me to thirst for life like that.
For me to realize,
A happiness I wanted...
Was not going to be delivered,
Wrapped in a package.
As a surprise to be gifted...
Off of anyone's back.
And any happiness I would experience...
I had to supply it!
While listening to everyone else,
Say they've been denied...
After doing the trial and error bit.
To be left alone to cry!
And I'm not one to sit and sympathize.
