All I needed was growth,

I sought pleasure instead.

In your arms I found comfort,

You masked a pain that you could not heal.

Whatever your reasons were, I thank you for the time we had.

I recognize my choice and flaws,

I admit my weakness and my pride.

It’s true you had me overfed with trifle pleasures,

but I did not always have to eat from your seductive buffet.

I see clearly now.

The big red button across the room.

We drop our dreams and amb...

I flee from you and am not turning back.

It’s a difficult journey but I’m not coming back.

My map is incomplete and my destination, I don’t know.

but I’m not coming back

I choose growth.

I’ll keep choosing growth.

This time, I won’t self-destruct.
