I have news for you.  It doesn't matter.  It doesn't matter what you do or don't do what you're good at or not good at.  You are exactly who you are supposed to be.  You have nothing to prove.  You never did. The world isn't looking at you.  The only reason people look at other people is because they do something that demands attention.  So unless you do something really amazing or horrible nobody is watching
So the choices you make every day are between you and your conscious.  So hold onto wisdom like a security blanket and listen to it.  Make good choices
 But do it for you.  Not the audience you think you have.  You're not Beyoncé you don't have a public 😂 you are just a regular extraordinary person with regular extraordinary value and extraordinary talent. Do you and do you well. Just don't expect applause. Expect something much greater.

Only you

I never imagined
Saying goodbye
Never imagined anything other than us
One love
Written in the sky
Our brokenness bound together
By a promise to not let go
There was only you
I held onto
In the storms
My dancing partner in the downpour
I rehearsed what I would say
The day we met but why
Did I not rehearse
How to say goodbye?
My love for you is selfish
So much in it for me
Our love together is reckless
Fulfillment of a fantasy.
Our love together is real
It makes me want to cry
When I think about the future
How I have to say goodbye.
I've said see you later
I've said clean up this mess
I've asked your opinion
Over the purchase of a dress.
Made so many promises
Some that I've kept to
I cannot promise that I'll be able
To say goodbye to you.
This is not our fairy tale
Everything feels wrong
I am so damn tired
Of pretending to be strong.
When I say that I'm ok
Understand that its a lie
Im sorry for saying nothing
But Im afraid to say goodbye
Sorry I've been so distant
So sorry I've been away
I've run off like a coward
When I really want to stay.
I want to hold your hand
And cry into your arms
I thought that i could lose you
One moment at a time
That watching you slip away
Would be completely fine.
Because it is practical
And what I had to do
But I am too deep in love
To say goodbye to you.
I will take your hand
Cry into your shirt
Let love cover me like nightfall
No matter how it hurts
I can say goodbye to anything
That this life asks me to
But I know that with my final breath
I'll hold onto only you.
