I am on a path. I made a pact, a promise, and on that promise I will become me or who I truly am. I won't be screwed over anymore, because when I know I am not looking for something your damn straight I won't get pulled into that something. It's like you are sitting by yourself on a park bench, and though you might not be that happiest person, you have grown accustom to that lonely park bench and don't mind it so much. Then all of a sudden someone asks if they can sit for awhile. You say sure, I don't own the bench after all, but you warn them the bench isn't comfortable at all, and yet they join you after all. Only for a minute to rest, or so you think. Then the next thing you know that person is sitting on the same bench the next day. YOUR bench. So you sit with them on your bench, hey why not it was nice talking to themfor that little while. Then you realize the following days that you look foward to seeing that person on your bench, not that you asked them to sit by you to begin with. Now you see your bench in a different light. It now makes you smile when you think of sitting on your bench. Then that one day the bench, your bench, becomes what it was in the first place. YOUr bench. Your lonely park bench. Again you are left there to think that you were accustom to that lonely park bench and that you didn't mind it so much.... until now.
