"Circumstance does not make the man. Circumstance reveals man to himself."
--Emerson

#196 Brittany
You lied to my face,
Pretended for a year.
To be a friend
Someone to hold dear.

But now you tell me
I'm not good enough for you
You said it was all a lie,
None of it was true.

You aided my downfall
But I still don't need you.
Without you I'm a better person
This I'm sure I knew.

All along I compromised
My character to fit in
But I still was too different
Not good enough to win.

I now ignore you,
As if I never cared
You are just an obstacle,
A burden for me to bear.

Next year a freshman
You'll go to a different school
I'll try to forget the pain you caused me
But now, I'm not a fool.

I don't have to compromise,
The way I talk, act, or look.
Even though you don't accept,
That I'd rather read a book.

Then chase after some guy,
Not caring how he acts
As long as he's 'hot'
A good heart he can lack.

Now I know,
That in my heart,
I never will fit in.
But as long as I stay true to Faith
I can always win.

"If you want to know the past, to know what has caused you, look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the past's effect. If you want to know your future, then look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the cause of the future."
--Majjhima Nikaya

"Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment."
--Ralph Marston
